Camshaft Disassembly and Inspection
Remove and discard the spacer and retaining ring from the camshaft (Figure 31).
There are two parts to the camshaft inspection: a visual inspection and a dimensional inspection.
Copy and complete the Camshaft Inspection Checklist to do the camshaft inspection.
NOTICE
If a new or reconditioned camshaft is to be installed, install new tappet bodies. Refer to
the “Camshaft Replacement Guidelines” section in the latest revision of Service
Instruction No. SI-1011 for guidelines on replacing the camshaft when new tappets are
installed in the engine.
If a hydraulic tappet body has been rejected for spalling, carefully examine the
corresponding camshaft lobe for evidence of distress, surface irregularity, or feathering
on the edges.

Camshaft Dimensional Inspection
Support the camshaft in V-blocks and measure the
run-out. Refer to the latest revision of the
Service
Table of Limits - SSP-1776
. If the run-out is out of
tolerance, replace the camshaft.
Run-out
measurement:
Acceptable
Replace
Measure the OD of the camshaft at the bearing
locations and compare the results to the bearings
formed by the crankcase (per the “Crankcase
Dimensional Inspection” in this chapter.) If the OD
is not within limits, replace the camshaft.
