Camshaft inspection (RZ4E-TC)

1. Camshaft inspection

1. Visual inspection

1) Inspect the camshaft journal, cam section, and gear sections for the following.

  • Damage
  • Wear

Note

  • Replace the camshaft if an abnormal condition is found.

2) Inspect the camshaft sprocket and inlet camshaft sub gear for the following.

  • Damage
  • Wear

Note

  • Replace the camshaft sprocket if an abnormal condition is found.

2. Camshaft runout measurement

1) Put the camshaft on the V-block.

2) Slowly turn the camshaft to measure runout of the dial gauge.

Limit: 0.05 mm { 0.0020 in }

Note

  • If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace the camshaft.

3. Cam lobe height measurement

1) Measure the height of the cam lobe using a micrometer.

Note

  • If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace the camshaft.
Cam lobe height
Inlet
Standard value
40.287 mm { 1.5861 in }
Limit
39.287 mm { 1.5467 in }
Exhaust
Standard value
40.552 mm { 1.5965 in }
Limit
39.552 mm { 1.5572 in }

4. Camshaft journal measurement

1) Measure the diameter of the camshaft journal using a micrometer.

Camshaft journal diameter
Standard value
23.943 to 23.964 mm { 0.9426 to 0.9435 in }
Limit
23.843 mm { 0.9387 in }
Limit
0.05 mm { 0.0020 in } Uneven wear

Note

  • If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace the camshaft.

2) Measure the inner diameter of the camshaft cap using a cylinder gauge.

3) Calculate the clearance from the camshaft cap inner diameter and journal diameter measurements.

Clearance between the camshaft cap inner diameter and the journal diameter
Standard value
0.036 to 0.078 mm { 0.0014 to 0.0031 in }
Limit
0.12 mm { 0.0047 in }

Note

  • If the measured value exceeds the limit, replace the camshaft or camshaft carrier.
