CAMSHAFTS
5-23
3. Measure:
• Camshaft journal diameter (crankcase side)
“a”
Out of specification → Replace the camshaft.
4. Measure:
• Camshaft journal diameter (camshaft cover
side) “a”
Out of specification → Replace the camshaft.
5. Measure:
• Crankcase hole inside diameter “a”
Out of specification → Replace the crank-
case.
6. Measure:
• Camshaft cover hole inside diameter “a”
Out of specification → Replace the camshaft
cover.
7. Calculate:
• Camshaft-to-crankcase clearance
Out of specification → Replace the defective
part(s).
NOTE:
Calculate the clearance by subtracting the
crankcase side camshaft journal diameter
(crankcase side) from the crankcase hole inside
diameter.
8. Calculate:
• Camshaft to camshaft cover clearance
Out of specification → Replace the defective
part(s).
