Removal & Installation: Camshaft: Inspection
- Inspect components for damage. Measure camshaft lobe height, and journal runout. Replace camshaft if not within specification. See CAMSHAFT SPECS TABLE at end of article.
- Measure cylinder head camshaft bore and camshaft journal diameter. Determine camshaft oil clearance. Replace camshaft/cylinder head if oil clearance is not within specification. See CAMSHAFT SPECS TABLE at end of article.
CAUTION:
Before installing camshaft, ensure crankshaft sprocket timing mark aligns with oil pump timing mark to prevent valve-to-piston contact.
