3.4 Measuring clearance between camshaft
journal and cylinder block bore
Calculate the clearance between the outside diameter of the
camshaft journal and inside diameter of the cylinder block
bore. Replace the camshaft or cylinder block if the
clearance exceeds the limit.
Note: Start measurement from the No.2 camshaft hole
because the No.1 camshaft hole is for ball bearings.

lobe lift. If the lift is less than the limit, replace the camshaft
with a new one.
