Pic. 2.282. Measuring the backlash in the gearing of the camshafts
Install both camshafts in the head of the block without installing the exhaust camshaft auxiliary gear. Use a dial indicator to measure the backlash in the gearing (pic. 2.282).
- Nominal clearance - 0.02–0.20 mm;
- The maximum clearance is 0.30 mm.
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the camshafts.
