essary.
Service limit:

2) Check the journal for damage and wear. Re-
place if faulty.
3) Measure the outer diameter of camshaft journal
and inner diameter of cylinder head journal, and
determine the difference (oil clearance) between
the two values. If the oil clearance exceeds stan-
dard value, replace the camshaft or cylinder head
as necessary.
