Checking the camshaft
1. Check the edge and face of the flange on
the camshafts (PORT) and intake cam-
shaft (STBD) that is used for the cam
position sensor. Replace the camshaft if
damaged, rough, or scratched.
TIP:
• Be careful not to scratch or damage the
face of the flange.
• If there is a scratch that is more than
0.2 mm (0.008 in) deep or more than
0.5 mm (0.020 in) wide on the surface of
the flange, a malfunction may occur in the
cam position sensor signal.
2. Measure the cam lobe height a and
width b.
