CAMSHAFTS
3. Measure:
• Camshaft runout
Out of specification Replace.
4. Measure:
• Camshaft-journal-to-camshaft-cap clearance
Out of specification Measure the camshaft
journal diameter.
a. Install the camshaft into the cylinder head
(without the dowel pins and camshaft
caps).
b. Position a strip of Plastigauge® “1” onto the
camshaft journal as shown.
c. Install the dowel pins and camshaft caps.
• When tightening the camshaft cap, tighten the
four bolts on the both ends of the cap tempo-
rarily to lower the entire cap, while paying at-
tention not to twist the dowel pins and camshaft
journal. After the camshaft cap touches the cyl-
inder head, tighten the two bolts in the middle
to the specified torque and then the remaining
four bolts to the specified torque.
• To prevent the camshaft cap from cracking,
tighten the camshaft cap carefully by tapping
the camshaft using a soft-face hammer (both
for temporary and final tightening).
• Do not turn the camshaft when measuring the
camshaft journal-to-camshaft cap clearance
with the Plastigauge®.
d. Remove the camshaft caps and then mea-
sure the width of the Plastigauge® “1”.
5. Measure:
• Camshaft journal diameter “a”
Out of specification Replace the camshaft.
Within specification Replace the cylinder
head and the camshaft caps as a set.
