Fig. 2.85. Check of an axial side play of the camshaft

Install camshafts. Measure by the indicator an axial side play, moving the camshaft back and forth (fig. 2.85).

Nominal side play:

admission – 0,040–0,095 mm;

release – 0,080–0,135 mm.

Limit gap:

admission. – 0,11 mm;

release – 0,15 mm.

If the axial side play is more than most admissible, replace the camshaft. If it is necessary, replace covers of bearings and a head of the block of cylinders.
