Camshaft End Play

  1. Measure camshaft end play with thrust plate in position. Install dial indicator to front of head, with pointer on camshaft center. Pry camshaft fully rear, and zero dial indicator.
  2. Pry camshaft fully forward and note dial indicator reading. Standard end play is .002-.007" (.05-.18 mm) with a limit of .008" (.20 mm). If end play exceeds specification on 1.3L engines, replace thrust plate and recheck end play. If end play is exceeded on 1.6L engines, replace camshaft and/or cylinder head.
