Removal & Installation: Camshaft: Inspection
- Check camshaft lobes and journals for wear or damage. Measure height of lobes with a micrometer. Replace camshaft if measurement is less than 1.432" (36.37 mm).
- Measure camshaft journals. Replace camshaft if journal diameter is less than 1.331" (33.83 mm) or if difference between largest and smallest journal (taper) is more than .002" (.05 mm).
- Place camshaft on "V" blocks and check runout at center journal. Replace camshaft if runout exceeds .004" (0.1 mm). A slight amount of runout can be corrected with a press. DO NOT apply heat.
