Camshaft & Rocker Arm Assembly: Inspection
- Inspect camshaft lobes, journals and distributor drive gear for wear or damage. Measure height of camshaft lobes. Replace camshaft if measurement is less than 1.432" (36.37 mm).
- Measure camshaft journals. If journal diameter is less than 1.331" (33.83 mm) or if difference between largest and smallest journal is more than .002" (.05 mm), replace camshaft.
- Place camshaft on "V" blocks and check runout at center journal. If runout exceeds .004" (.10 mm), replace camshaft. A slight amount of runout can be corrected with a press. DO NOT apply heat.
