Measure the inner diameter of the camshaft bracket.
Standard: 26.000 - 26.021 mm (1.0236 - 1.0244 inch)
Calculation of Camshaft Journal Clearance
(Journal clearance) = (camshaft bracket inner diameter) - (camshaft journal diameter)
Standard: 0.030 - 0.068 mm (0.0012 - 0.0027 inch)
^
If measurement is not within specification, replace either or both camshaft and cylinder head.
