Removal & Installation: Camshaft: Inspection
- Check camshaft journals for out-of-round condition. If journals exceed .0009" (.022 mm) out-of-round, replace camshaft. Check camshaft end play. Replace thrust plate if clearance is excessive.
- Check camshaft for alignment. Use "V" block and dial indicator. If dial gauge reads more than .0015" (.040 mm), replace camshaft.
- Check camshaft lobe lift. Attach dial gauge with Ball and Socket Attachment (J-8520) to camshaft carrier or "V" block. Measure lobe lift. If not to specification, replace camshaft.
