(A) Camshaft lobe lift
-
Naturally aspirated engines
- Inlet lobe ... 6.722 mm (0.2646 inch)
- Exhaust lobe ... 6.720 mm (0.2645 inch)
-
Turbocharged engines
- Inlet lobe ... 6.682 mm (0.2631 inch)
- Exhaust lobe ... 6.722 mm (0.2646 inch)
The service limit for camshaft lobe lift is given below:
-
Naturally aspirated engines
- Inlet lobe ... 6.222 mm (0.2450 inch)
- Exhaust lobe ... 6.220 mm (0.2449 inch)
-
Turbocharged engines
- Inlet lobe ... 6.182 mm (0.2434 inch)
- Exhaust lobe ... 6.222 mm (0.2450 inch)
(B) Camshaft lobe height
(C) Base circle
To determine the lobe lift, use the procedure that follows:
- Measure the camshaft lobe height (B) .
- Measure the base circle (C) .
- Subtract the base circle that is found in Step 2 from the camshaft lobe height that is found in Step 1. The difference is the camshaft lobe lift.
If the camshaft lobe lift is less than the service limit, replace the camshaft.
