5.  Inspect an end clearance of the camshaft. 

•  Use a thickness gauge to measure an end

clearance of the camshaft gear and the

camshaft bracket. 

•  If the measurement exceeds the limit, replace

the camshaft gear or the camshaft.

6.  Check if the cam lobe is worn. 

•  Use a micrometer to measure the height of the 

cam lobe. 

•  If the height of the cam lobe is at the limit or 

less, replace the camshaft.

7.  Check if the camshaft journal is worn. 

•  Use a micrometer to measure wear which is 

not even with a diameter of the camshaft 

journal. 

•  If the measured uneven wear exceeds the limit, 

replace the camshaft.

8.  Check if the camshaft is runout. 

•  Place the camshaft on a V block to measure a

runout with a dial gauge. 

•  Rotate the camshaft slowly to measure how

much the dial indicator shook.  If it exceeds the

limit, replace the camshaft.

a. Measure an inside diameter of the camshaft

bearing with a dial gauge. 

b. Read the difference between the inside

diameter of the camshaft bearing and the

diameter of the camshaft journal. 

 

If the measured oil clearance exceeds the limit,

replace the camshaft bearing.
