Camshaft runout
Set camshaft between two “V” blocks, and measure its runout by
using a dial gauge.
If measured runout exceeds limit, replace camshaft.

Camshaft journal wear
Check camshaft journals and camshaft housings for pitting,
scratches, wear or damage.
If any malcondition is found, replace camshaft or cylinder head
