10. INSPECT CAMSHAFTS AND BEARINGS
A. Inspect camshaft for runout(a) Place the camshaft on V±blocks.
(b) Using a dial indicator, measure the circle runout at thecenter journal.
Maximum circle runout: 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
If the circle runout is greater than maximum, replace the cam-
shaft.
B. Inspect cam lobes Using a micrometer, measure the cam lobe height.
Standard cam lobe height:
Intake 41.710±41.810 mm (1.6421±1.6461 in.)
Exhaust 41.910±42.010 mm (1.6500±1.6539 in.)
Minimum cam lobe height: Intake 41.56 mm (1.6362 in.)
Exhaust 41.76 mm (1.6441 in.)
If the cam lobe height is less than minimum, replace the cam-
shaft.
C. Inspect camshaft journals Using a micrometer, measure the journal diameter.
Journal diameter:
Exhaust camshaft thrust portion (A) 23.959±23.975 mm
(0.9433±0.9439 in.)
Others 26.954±26.970 mm (1.0612±1.0618 in.)
If the journal diameter is not as specified, check the oil clear-
ance.
D. Inspect camshaft bearings Check the bearings for flaking and scoring.
If the bearings are damaged, replace the bearing caps and
cylinder head as a set.

If more then maximum, replace the vane plate and/or rotor
with one having the same mark stamped on the cam ring.
Inscribed mark:1, 2, 3, 4 or None
HINT: There are 5 vane lengths with the following rotor and
cam ring marks:
