Inspect
Camshaft Visual Inspection
1 Inspect the threaded hole (2) for damage.
2 Inspect the camshaft spro cket locating notch (3) for
damage or wear.
3 Inspect the camshaft sealing grooves (4) for damage.
4 Inspect the camshaft thrust surface (5) for damage.
5 Inspect the camshaft lobes (6) and journals (7) for the following conditions:
• Excessive scoring or pitting
• Discoloration from overheating
• Deformation from excessive wear, especially
the camshaft lobes
6 If any of the above conditions exist on the camshaft, replace the camshaft.

Figure 6A1 – 336
Camshaft Measurement
1 With the camshaft (1) in a suitable fixture (2), measure the camshaft for wear.
2 For camshaft measurement, refer to the following specifications, 5 Specifications .

NOTE
If the camshaft measures outside the specified
range, replace the camshaft.
CAUTION
No machining of the camshaft is allowed.

Figure 6A1 – 337
3 Measure the camshaft (2) journals for diameter and out-of-round using an outsi de micrometer (1).

7 Measure the camshaft lobes for wear using a dial
indicator (1).


Figure 6A1 – 342
8 Place the dial indicator tip on the base circle (1) of the camshaft lobe.
9 Set the dial indicator at zero.
10 Rotate the camshaft until the indicator tip is at the highest point (2) on the lobe. This reading is the lift of
the camshaft lobe.

Reinstall
Right-hand Side
1 Select the correct camshaft for the particular installation location. ID markings are on the rear end
of each camshaft. The ID markings are defined as
follows:
• The first five digits refer to the date and time of
production.
• Example = 3L18H.
• Digits six through nine refer to engine
production code.
• LY7 = Alloytec 190 engine.
• The last two digits refer to position:
• LI = left-hand intake.
• LE = left-hand exhaust.
• RI = right-hand intake.
• RE = right-hand exhaust.

4 Ensure the camshaft lobes are in the neutral position with the flats on the back of the camshafts up and
parallel (1) with the right-hand cylinder head camshaft
cover rail.
5 Ensure the marks on the right-hand exhaust camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.
6 Ensure the marks on the right-hand intake camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.

toward the centre of the cylinder head.
• The I indicates the intake camshaft.
• The E indicates the exhaust camshaft.
• The number 1, 3, 5 indicates the cylinder
position from the fr ont of the engine.
8 Apply a liberal amount of engine oil to the camshaft bearing caps.
