Camshaft Bearing

  1. Inspect camshaft for runout. If runout exceeds 0.0059" (0.15 mm), replace camshaft. Inspect camshaft journals and bearings for wear or damage. If clearance exceeds specifications, replace camshaft bearings and/or regrind camshaft. Bearings are available in standard 0.010" and 0.020" (0.25 and 0.50 mm) oversizes.

  2. Drive out camshaft rear expansion plug from cylinder block. Remove front and No. 2 bearing using Camshaft Bearing Remover (Tool 09215-60010). Place front and second bearing adapters against rear of respective bearing and place tool against front part of cylinder block.
  3. Insert replacer shaft into the 3 parts and screw retainer nut onto replacer shaft. Hold slotted part of shaft with wrench to prevent shaft from turning. Front and No. 1 bearings will be pulled out to front by screwing in retainer nut with another wrench.

  4. Remove No. 3 and rear bearing toward rear of block using tool in same manner as for front and No. 1 bearing. When installing new bearings, ensure that oil holes of bearing match up with oil holes in cylinder block.
  5. When new bearings have been installed, measure to obtain proper clearance. Only a very light cut is required to ream bearings to proper size. Coat rear expansion plug with sealer and reinstall plug in block.
