Camshaft Lobe Lift
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Ford Pickup, 2012 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2012 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2012 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- To check the intake and exhaust lobes, measure across diagonally (A-C) and across horizontally (B-D). Subtract (B-D) from (A-C). This will give cam lobe lift. Install a new camshaft when cam lobe lift wear exceeds specifications. For additional information, refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS .
- Inspect the thrust plate for wear, cracks or distortion.
- Inspect the camshaft drive gear for worn or damaged teeth.
- Wash the camshaft in cleaning solvent with a soft brush. Dry with filtered, compressed air.
