CAMSHAFT AND HYDRAULIC LIFTERS

Camshaft and Hydraulic Lifter Removal
1. Keep the timing marks (A) aligned during removal (Figure 13-45, Page 13-24).
2. With cylinder head removed, pull the hydraulic lifters out of their bores to the top of the cylinder. See Cyl-
inder Head Removal on page 13-10. See following CAUTION.
3. Take the camshaft out of the engine block.
∆
CAUTION
• Do not depress the socket (1) (Figure 13-46, Page 13-25). This will cause the engine oil to leak
out of the high pressure chamber during storage. Keep the hydraulic lifters upright to prevent
the engine oil from spilling out of the lifters during storage.
• Do not attempt to disassemble a hydraulic lifter because the engine oil will drain out of the
high pressure chamber in the lifter.
Camshaft and Hydraulic Lifter Inspection
If the engine typically remains noisy for two minutes after it starts, the hydraulic lifter might be worn between
the plunger (2) and the body (3). Proceed with the following to check the hydraulic lifter for wear
(Figure 13-46, Page 13-25).
1. Put the hydraulic lifter vertically on a measuring stand to measure leak-down distance.
2. Push the socket (1) down and measure the distance that it sinks (Figure 13-46, Page 13-25).
3. If the distance exceeds 0.0197 inch (0.5 mm), replace both hydraulic lifters as a set.
4. Inspect the camshaft for wear or broken gear teeth.
5. Measure the camshaft journals and cam lobes with a micrometer at the points shown (Figure 13-47,
Page 13-25 and Figure 13-48, Page 13-26).
6. If the camshaft journal diameter is less than 0.9026 inch (22.927 mm) at either end of the shaft, replace
the camshaft.
7. If the lobe height is less than 1.3086 inches (33.24 mm) for either lobe, replace the camshaft.
