EM-224prose procedure

Cam height standards differ between CD17 and CD20 (intake and exhaust).

CYLINDER HEAD — Inspection

Camshaft Runout

  1. 1
    Measure camshaft runout at the center journal. Runout (Total indicator reading): Limit 0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
    Camshaft supported on V-blocks with a dial gauge on the center journal to measure camshaft runout.
    SEM155
  2. 2
    If it exceeds the limit, replace camshaft.

Camshaft Cam Height

  1. 1
    Measure camshaft cam height.
    Micrometer measuring the cam lobe height of a camshaft.

CAMSHAFT JOURNAL CLEARANCE

Camshaft Journal Clearance

  1. 1
    Measure the inner diameter of camshaft bearings. Standard inner diameter: 30.000 - 30.021 mm (1.1811 - 1.1819 in). Tighten bracket bolts to the specified torque.
    Inside micrometer / bore gauge measuring the inner diameter of camshaft bearings in the cylinder head with bracket bolts tightened.
    SEM727B
  2. 2
    Measure the outer diameter of camshaft journals. Standard outer diameter: 29.935 - 29.955 mm (1.1785 - 1.1793 in). If clearance exceeds the limit, replace camshaft and/or cylinder head. Standard clearance: 0.045 - 0.086 mm (0.0018 - 0.0034 in); Limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
