4. Visually examine all parts for wear. Check the camshaft bearing journals and cams for wear, pits, scores and overheating. Should any of these
conditions be present, fit a new camshaft.
5. Examine the links and pins of the timing chain for wear and compare its condition with that of a new chain. Similarly the teeth of the sprockets
should be inspected and if necessary fit a new sprocket.
6. Measure the camshaft journals for overall wear, out of roundness and taper.
7. To check the camshaft for straightness rest the two end journals i.e. numbers 1 and 5 on V blocks and mount a dial gauge on the center journal.
Rotate the shaft and note the reading. If the run out is more than 0.05 mm (O.OO2 in) fit a new camshaft.
