Camshaft Journal to Bearing Clearance
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.
- Inspect the 5 camshaft bushings for wear and correct running clearance.
- Use a telescoping gauge and a 50-75 mm (2-3 in) micrometer to measure the camshaft bushing inside diameter with the bushings installed in the crankcase.
- To determine running clearance, subtract previous camshaft journal diameter readings from camshaft bushing inside diameter readings.
- If maximum allowable running clearance is exceeded, install new camshaft bushings. For additional information, refer to GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS .
