mm (0.002 to 0.004 in).
9.If any bearing clearance is found to exceed
figures given, repeat the above procedure using
a new camshaft.
CAUTION: If, after repeating the bearing
clearance check with a new camshaft the
bearing clearances are still excessive, a
new cylinder head and camshaft carrier assembly
must be fitted.
