Inspection (Cont'd)

CAMSHAFT VISUAL CHECK

Check camshaft for scratches, seizure and wear.

CAMSHAFT RUNOUT

  1. 1
    Measure camshaft runout at the center journal. Runout (Total indicator reading): Standard: Less than 0.02 mm (0.0008 in); Limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in).

  2. 2
    If it exceeds the limit, replace camshaft.

CAMSHAFT JOURNAL CLEARANCE

  1. 1
    Install camshaft bracket and tighten bolts to the specified torque.
  2. 2
    Measure inner diameter of camshaft bearing. Standard inner diameter: No. 1 bearing 28.000 - 28.021 mm (1.1024 - 1.1032 in); No. 2 to No. 5 bearings 24.000 - 24.021 mm (0.9449 - 0.9457 in).
