Camshaft Lobe Lift: Notes

  1. Camshaft lobe lift can be checked with camshaft installed or removed. Check camshaft lobe lift in consecutive order and record readings. With camshaft removed, measure distance between major and minor diameters of each lobe. The difference in reading is lobe lift.
  2. With camshaft installed, remove valve cover. Remove rocker arm bolt. Remove fulcrum and rocker arm. Install a dial indicator, with a cup shaped pointer, on top of cylinder head. Place push rod in cup shaped pointer in same plane as push rod movement.
  3. Install remote starter and leave ignition switch off. Use remote starter and rotate crankshaft until push rod is in lowest position. Zero dial indicator. Rotate crankshaft slowly until push rod is in fully raised position. Record reading and repeat procedure for remaining lobes. Replace camshaft and lifters if not within specifications.
