NOTE:
Do not rotate the camshaft with the plastigauge in place.
• Remove the camshaft holders, and read the width of the com-

• If the camshaft journal oil clearance measured exceeds the
limit, measure the inside diameter of the camshaft journal
holder and outside diameter of the camshaft journal.
• Replace the camshaft or the cylinder head depending upon
which one exceeds the specification.
