(1) Maximum permissible temperature of the camshaft gear for installation on the camshaft ... 315 °C (599 °F)
Do not use a torch to heat the gear. A torch can unevenly heat the gear causing warpage. The hardness of the gear may also be changed with the use of a torch.
(A) Diameters of camshaft journals

(B) Specified camshaft lobe lift Exhaust lobe ... 7.344 mm (0.2891 inch) Inlet lobe ... 6.689 mm (0.2633 inch) Service limit for lobe lift for exhaust ... 6.844 mm (0.2694 inch) Service limit for lobe lift for inlet ... 6.189 mm (0.2437 inch)Note: Replace the camshaft if the service limit for the lobe lift is reached.In order to find the lobe lift, use the following procedure:
Measure the camshaft lobe height (C) .
Measure the base circle (D) .
Subtract the base circle that is found in Step 2 from the lobe height that is found in Step 1. The difference is the actual camshaft lobe lift (B) .

Note: Use a dial indicator and blocks in order to determine the runout of the camshaft. Take one half of the dial indicator reading as the runout. (3) Camshaft Maximum permissible runout for camshaft ... 0.020 mm (0.0008 inch) Straighten the camshaft if runout is less than the following amount. ... 0.050 mm (0.0020 inch) Replace the camshaft if runout is more than the following amount. ... 0.050 mm (0.0020 inch)
