Camshaft Bearing Journal Diameter
1. Determine the diameter of the camshaft
journals.
Using a micrometer measure the diameter
at 90 degrees intervals to determine if the
journals are out-of-round.
Measure at two different points on the journal
to determine if there is any tapering.
If the measurements are out of the specified
range, install a new camshaft.

Camshaft Bearing Journal Clearance
1. NOTE: Make sure that the following stages
are followed exactly. The tappets or followers
must be removed to carry out this
measurement.
NOTE: Make sure that the camshaft is to
specification.
NOTE: The bearing caps and journals should be
free from engine oil and dirt.
Position on a width of plastigage on the
bearing cap.
Insert the camshaft, without lubrication, into
the cylinder head.
Position a plastigage strip, which should be
equal to the width of the bearing cap, on the
bearing journal.

2. Following the tightening specification, install
the camshaft bearing caps. Refer to the
corresponding Section 303-01.
3. NOTE: Do not strike the bearing caps.
Remove the camshaft bearing caps, refer to
the corresponding Section 303-01.
4. Using the Plastigage, read off the
measurement.
Compare the width of plastigage with the
plastigage scale.
The value that is read off is the bearing
clearance.

Cylinder Bore Taper
1. NOTE: The main bearing caps or lower
crankcase must be in place and tightened to
the specified torque; however, the bearing
shells should not be installed.
Measure the cylinder bore with an internal
micrometer.
Carry out the measurements in different
directions and at different heights to
determine if there is any out-of-roundness or
tapering.
If the measurement is out of the specified
range, install a new block or hone out the
cylinder block (if aplicable/allowed).
