Fig. 2.281. Check of an axial side play of the camshaft

Install the camshaft in a bed of a head of the block of cylinders. The indicator measure an axial gap when moving camshafts (fig. 2.281) back and forth.

Axial gap

camshafts:

standard – 0,040–0,090 mm;

the most admissible – 0,12 mm.

The most admissible:

inlet – 0,12 mm;

final – 0,10 mm.

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