Camshaft End Thrust

Rocker arm bolts must be loosened sufficiently to free camshaft. Push camshaft toward rear of engine and install dial indicator so point is on camshaft sprocket attaching bolt. Zero indicator. Position screwdriver between camshaft sprocket or gear and block, pull camshaft forward and release. If end play is excessive, replace thrust plate.

NOTE: Do not attempt to pry camshaft back and forth with valve train load on camshaft.
