(1) New thrust washer thickness ... 4.70 ± 0.03 mm (0.185 ± 0.001 inch)

End play of a new camshaft ... 0.13 ± 0.08 mm (0.005 ± 0.003 inch)

Maximum permissible end play of a worn camshaft ... 0.46 mm (0.018 inch)

(2) Diameter of the camshaft journals ... 65.126 ± 0.013 mm (2.5640 ± 0.0005 inch)

(A) Distance between the shoulder of the camshaft and the shoulder of the gear

Total distance ... 4.83 ± 0.05 mm (0.190 ± 0.002 inch)

(B) Camshaft lobe lift

Specified camshaft lobe lift (B)

Exhaust lobe ... 7.35 mm (0.289 inch)

Inlet lobe ... 9.36 mm (0.369 inch)

To find the lobe lift, use the procedure that follows:

1. Measure the camshaft lobe height (C).

2. Measure the base circle (D).

3. 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).

Maximum permissible difference between actual lobe lift and the specified lobe lift of a new
camshaft ... ± 0.10 mm (0.004 inch)
