Camshaft Bearing Journal Diameter

Camshaft Journal Diameter





1. Determine the diameter of the camshaft journals.
- Using a micrometer measure the diameter at 90 degrees intervals to determine if the journals are out- of-round.
- Measure at two different points on the journal to determine if there is any tapering.
- If the measurements are out of the specified range, install a new camshaft.
