lobes and journals to prevent rusting.
Camshaft Bushing - Inspection
Caution: If the camshaft bore for the first cam bushing is
worn beyond the limit, install a new service bushing. • •
Inspect the rest of the camshaft bores for damage or excessive
wear.
Measure the diameter of each bore. (The limit for the bushing in
the No. 1 bore is the same as for the other bores without
bushings.)
Limit
Inside Diameter: 54.133mm [2.1312 inch]
Note: If the bores without a bushing are worn beyond the limit,
the engine must be removed for machining and installation of
service bushings or replacement of the cylinder block.
Remove the bushing from the Number 1 bore, using a universal
cam bushing tool.
Note: Mark the cylinder block so you can align the oil hole in
the cylinder block with the oil hole in the bushing.
