ACTION REQUIRED
Replace camshafts and lifters as required. Reference SEBF8146 for the camshaft reuse guidelines and SEBF8191 for the lifter reuse guidelines. Always use new, or lifters in like new condition on a new or remanufactured camshaft. During disassembly, always mark the lifter positions so they can be re-installed in the same location if reused. |
