Inspection (1.6L)

  1. Check cylinder head for warpage (if removed). Refer to CYLINDER HEAD  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS. Measure camshaft lobes across their maximum dimensions. Inspect for scoring and wear. Replace camshaft if not within specification. See, in this article, CAMSHAFT SPECIFICATIONS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
    NOTE: For additional camshaft specifications, see CAMSHAFT SPECIFICATIONS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
    NOTE: Camshaft bearings are NOT replaceable. If not within specification, replace cylinder head and/or camshaft.
  2. Measure camshaft bearing journals and cylinder head bores (with bearing caps in place and torqued to specification). See Figure. Subtract camshaft bearing journal O.D. from cylinder head bore I.D. to obtain oil clearance. If clearance is not within specification, replace head and/or camshaft. See CAMSHAFT SPECIFICATIONS  table under ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS.
