Note:
The camshaft caps and ladder are unique
to each cylinder head and are, therefore,
not available individually. If a camshaft cap
or the ladder is worn or damaged, the
complete cylinder head must be replaced.
Measuring The Compressed Plastigage.
7. Calculate the journal clearance using the
Plastigage chart supplied with the Plastigage kit.

8 .
If the clearance measured is within the specified
tolerance, remove the captladder and clean off
all traces of Plastigage. Assemble the camshafts
(see page 3- 12).
Note:
If the measured clearance is outside the
tolerance, and the camshaft journals are
within tolerance, the cylinder head must be
replaced.
A
Caution
I
Although Plastigage is oil soluble, all traces of the
I
material must be removed to prevent blockage of the
oil drillings and resultant engine damage.
\
Thoroughly clean the camshafts and journals.
Inspect the ends of the camshafts for correct
fitment of the sealing plugs. Lubricate the
camshafts with clean engine oil before fitting to
the head.
Locate each camshaft to the head ensuring the
camshafts are correctly identified (inlet and
exhaust) and are also correctly located over their
respective valve banks.
Working on one camshaft at a time, locate the
cam chain over the cam sprocket. Position the
camshaft in the same position as for removal
before attempting to fit the caps and ladder (that
is, with the timing marks on the camshaft
sprockets level and pointing inwards, and with
the 'Tl' mark on the sprag clutch in alignment
with the line at the bottom of the cover).
1. Cam chain
2. Inlet camshaft
4.
Repeat the procedure for the other camshaft.
\
A
Caution
If the camshafts and capslladder are fitted without
first aligning the timing marks on both the crankshaft
and camshaft sprockets, the inlet and exhaust
valves will contact each other causing damage to
both the head and the valves.
