Camshaft: Testing and Inspection
Cleaning and Inspection
CLEANING
1. If not done as part of engine disassembly, remove camshaft center bearing or gear from camshaft and camshaft from engine.
2. Clean the camshaft in an appropriate solvent and wipe it dry.
3. Remove light scuffs, scores, or nicks from the camshaft machined surfaces with an oil stone.
INSPECTION
Inspect the camshaft journals and lobes for scoring and signs of abnormal wear.
Lobe pitting, except in the general area of the lobe toe, is not detrimental to the operation of the camshaft. Do not replace the camshaft unless lobe lift
loss has exceeded the specifications or pitting has occurred in the lobe lift area.
