CAMSHAFT
The camshaft should be checked for wear and also for runout of
cams and journals if the engine has been noted to produce
abnormal noise or vibration or to lack output power. Any of these
malconditions could be caused by a worn camshaft.
CAMSHAFT CAM WEAR
Worn-down cams are often the cause of mistimed valve opera-
tion resulting in reduced output power. The limit of cam wear is
specified for both intake and exhaust cam in terms of cam height
H
, which is to be measured with a micrometer. Replace cam-
shaft if found worn down to the limit.
