Removal and Installation

Camshaft may be removed after crankcase has been separated. Visually inspect camshaft for cracks, excessive wear or damage. Replace camshaft as necessary. Inspect camshaft keyway groove. If defective, repair camshaft or replace key. Using a dial indicator, ensure runout does not exceed .002" (.05 mm).

NOTE: If camshaft is replaced, all valve lifters should also be replaced. Check identification marks. The 1.6L engine uses camshaft marked "51", while 1.8L engine with solid lifters uses camshaft marked "72". The 1.8L engine with hydraulic lifters uses camshaft marked "76".
