Inspection of valve lifters and
camshaft
Repair instructions
Inspection of valve lifters
Use a steel rule to check that the surface of the valve
lifter in contact with the camshaft is spherical (con-
vex). It may even be flat, but it must absolutely not be
concave. If there is visible light showing through the
lifting surface between the ruler and the valve lifter,
the lifter must be replaced.
NOTE!
If the valve lifter is worn right across the valve
lifter, the lifter must be scrapped. The “ditch” shows
that the valve lifter has not rotated. On the other hand,
a dark line at the outside of the valve lifter shows that
the surface has not been worn down.
Investigate the reason why the valve lifter has not ro-
tated before installing a new valve lifter.
Minor pitting damage on valve lifter (A), camshaft (B).
Check the valve lifters for pitting damage. Pitting
damage can occur for various reasons. The damage
is caused by small particles of metal which come
away from the hardened surface. Valve lifters and
camshafts with minor pitting damage can be re-in-
stalled.
3
Remove the valve lifter access hatches (3).
NOTE!
The centre hatch does not need to be re-
moved.
4
Remove the valve lifters (4) and mark them so that
they go back in the same places when put back.
5
Remove the camshaft flange (5).
6
Install tool no. 9998079 on the camshaft and pull it
out carefully.
