Pic. 2.85. Checking the end play of the camshaft
Install the camshafts. Measure the end play with an indicator by moving the camshaft back and forth (pic. 2.85).
Rated backlash:
- inlet - 0.040–0.095 mm;
- release - 0.080–0.135 mm.
Limit clearance:
- inlet. - 0.11 mm;
- outlet - 0.15 mm.
If the end play is greater than the maximum allowable, replace the camshaft. If necessary, replace bearing caps and cylinder head.
