Checking Camshaft Lobes and Journals
Figure 376 Checking camshaft lobes and
journals for wear
1. Use an outside micrometer to measure across
each camshaft lobe from A-D and B-C. Subtract
measurement B-C from measurement A-D. This
is the cam lobe lift.
If any measurement exceeds the specification,
replace the camshaft.
2. Use an outside micrometer to measure the
diameter of each camshaft journal.
If any measurement exceeds the specification
(Table 38), replace the camshaft.
Installation
Coolant Heater (if equipped)
1. If servicing a leaky coolant heater, replace O-ring
on heater assembly.
2. Place nonpetroleum base lubricant around O-ring
area and install into crankcase. Orient electrical
connector so that it is facing downward (6 o'clock
position).
Read all safety instructions in the "Safety Information" section of this manual before doing any procedures.

3. Tighten the 5/32 in hex socket head cap screw to
the special torque value (Table 39).
4. Replenish coolant level if only servicing coolant
heater.
Camshaft Bushings
1. Identify each camshaft bushing according to its
outside diameter.

2. Lubricate each new camshaft bushing and
crankcase bushing bore with clean engine oil.

the bushing is held securely in place.
