Determine the diameter of the camshaft journals.
- Using a micrometer measure the diameter at 90 degrees
intervals to determine if the journals are out-of-round.
- Measure at two different points on the journal to determine
if there is any tapering.
- If the measurements are out of the specified range, install a
new camshaft.

End Play (G61236)
General Procedures
NOTE:
Make sure that the camshaft is to specification.

Using the special tool, measure the end play.
- Slide the camshaft in both directions. Read and note the
maximum and minimum values on the dial indicator gauge.
End play = maximum value minus minimum value.
- If the measurement is out of specification, install new
components.

Measure the cylinder bore with an internal micrometer.
- Carry out the measurements in different directions and at
different heights to determine if there is any out-ofroundness
or tapering.
- If the measurement is out of the specified range, hone out
the cylinder block or install a new block.
