INSPECTION
1) Measure the bend, and repair or replace if necessary.
Camshaft bend limit:
0.025 mm (0.00098 in)
2) Check the journal for damage and wear. Replace if faulty.
3) Check the cam face condition, and remove the minor faults by grinding with oil stone. If offset wear occurs, replace it.
4) Measure the cam lobe height H, cam base circle diameter A and base circle step of adjacent intake cams (low speed and high speed). If it exceeds the standard or offset wear occurs, replace it.
Cam lobe height H:
Cam base circle diameter A:
Standard
34.00 mm (1.3386 in)
Base circle step of adjacent intake cams (low speed and high speed):
Standard
0.03 mm (0.001 in) or less
5) Measure the outer diameter of camshaft journal and inner diameter of cylinder head journal, and check the difference (oil clearance) between the two values. If the oil clearance is not within the standard, replace the camshaft or cylinder head as necessary.
6) Measure the thrust clearance with setting the dial gauge at end surface of camshaft. If the thrust clearance is not within the standard or there is offset wear, replace the camshaft caps and cylinder head as a set. If necessary, replace the camshaft.
Camshaft thrust clearance:
Standard
0.030 - 0.090 mm (0.0012 - 0.0035 in)
