5.6 Camshaft and tappets
5.6.1 Camshaft
The camshaft is normalized and the cam and
bearing surfaces are surface hardened and
ground. The cams have a curve that minimized the
repeated shocks on the valve seats and
maximizes valve seat life.
(1) Checking the camshaft side gap
Measure the thrust gap before disassembly.
As the cam gear is shrink-fitted to the cam, be
careful when replacing the thrust bearing.
(2) Measure the cam height, and replace
the cam if it is worn beyond the limit.
