-
Install the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture so
the rounded tip of the dial indicator is on top of the camshaft lobe
and on the same plane as the valve tappet.
-
Rotate the crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket
attached to the crankshaft pulley retainer bolt. Rotate the crankshaft
until the base circle of the camshaft lobe is reached.
-
Zero the dial indicator. Continue to rotate the
crankshaft until the high-lift point of the camshaft lobe is in the
fully raised position (highest indicator reading).
-
To check the accuracy of the original dial indicator
reading, continue to rotate crankshaft until the base circle is reached.
The indicator reading should be zero. If zero reading is not obtained,
repeat Steps 2 through 5.
-
If the lift on any lobe is below specified service
limits, install a new camshaft and camshaft roller followers or valve
tappets.
-
Install the spark plugs.
