Inspection (Celica GTS)

  1. Check camshaft runout. Using dial gauge, measure runout at center journal. Rotate camshaft and measure total runout. Maximum runout is .0024" (.060 mm). If beyond specification, replace camshaft.
  2. Using micrometer, check camshaft lobe height for excessive wear. Standard lobe height is 1.3980-1.4020" (35.51-35.61 mm). Minimum lobe height is 1.3937" (35.40 mm). If worn beyond specification, replace camshaft.
  3. Using micrometer, measure camshaft journals. Standard camshaft journal diameter is 1.0614-1.0620" (26.959-26.975 mm). Using Plastigage method, check camshaft housing bearing bores for excessive wear. Standard bearing-to-journal clearance is .0010-.0024" (.025-.062 mm). Maximum clearance is .003" (.08 mm). If clearance is more than specification, replace camshaft and/or housing.
