  1. Check camshaft end thrust with cam followers removed. Attach dial indicator to cylinder head. Position indicator point on end of camshaft (or sprocket). Push camshaft rearward and zero dial indicator.
  2. Push camshaft forward to record maximum movement. If end thrust exceeds 0.006" (0.15 mm), check camshaft thrust flange and bearing cap for wear. Replace worn components.
