Inspection Procedure
- Inspect the camshaft lobes and bearing journals for pitting, abnormal wear, or excessive wear.
 
- Inspect the camshaft gear for chipped or broken teeth.
 
Measurement Procedure
- Measure the camshaft journals at 2 different points.
 
Specifications
|     •  | Production diameter: 39.950-39.975 mm (1.5728-1.5738 in) | 
 
|     •  | Service limit: 39.85 mm (1.569 in) | 
 
- Measure the camshaft bearing inside diameter. The correct measurement is 40.0-40.04 mm (1.575-1.576 in).
 
- Measure the camshaft journal to camshaft bearing clearance.
 
Specifications
|     •  | Subtract the camshaft bearing journal diameter, from the camshaft inside diameter. | 
 
|     •  | Production clearance: 0.025-0.070 mm (0.001-0.0028 in) | 
 
|     •  | Service limit: 0.15 mm (0.006 in) | 
 
- Measure the camshaft lobe height.
 
| •  | Camshaft lobe height should be 52.851 mm (2.0807 in) for intake and 54.91 mm (2.1618 in) for exhaust. | 
 
| •  | Replace the camshaft if the measurement height is below 52.017 mm (2.0500 in) for intake, 53.771 mm (2.1146 in) for exhaust. | 
 
- Measure the camshaft for runout.
 
- If the measurement is greater than 0.05 mm (0.0020 in), replace the camshaft.
