(1) Camshaft gear

Maximum permissible temperature of the gear for installation on the camshaft ... 315°C (600°F)

NOTICE
Do not use a torch to heat the gear. A torch can unevenly heat the gear
causing warpage. The hardness of the gear may also be changed with
the use of a torch.

(1) The service limit is the maximum dimension or the service limit is the minimum dimension that is specified for a part.
Replace the part if the service limit is reached.

(3) Thrust plate bolt

Tighten the bolt to the following torque. ... 10 to 13 N·m (7 to 9 lb ft)

(4) Camshaft lobe lift

Specified camshaft lobe lift (4)

Exhaust lobe ... 7.344 mm (0.2891 inch)

Inlet lobe ... 6.689 mm (0.2633 inch)

Service limit for lobe lift for exhaust ... 6.844 mm (0.2695 inch)

Note: Replace the camshaft if the service limit for the lobe lift is reached.

(5) Camshaft lobe height

(6) Base circle

To find the lobe lift, use the procedure that follows:

1. Measure the camshaft lobe height (5) .

2. Measure the base circle (6) .

3. Subtract the base circle that is found in Step 2 from the lobe height that is found in Step 1. The
difference is the actual camshaft lobe lift (4) .

Note: Use a dial indicator and blocks in order to determine the runout of the camshaft. Take one half of the
dial indicator reading as the runout.

(7) Camshaft

Maximum permissible runout for camshaft ... 0.020 mm (0.0008 inch)

Straighten the camshaft if runout is less than the following amount. ... 0.050 mm (0.0020 inch)

Replace the camshaft if runout is more than the following amount. ... 0.050 mm (0.0020 inch)

(8) Camshaft bearing

Measure the camshaft bearing with a dial indicator. Subtract the diameter of the camshaft journal in order to
give bearing clearances. Refer to Table 2.

Clearance between camshaft journals and bushings
