Examine the cam follower rollers for scoring, pitting or flat spots. The rollers must
turn freely on their pins. Measure the total diametric clearance and side clearance.
Install a new roller and pin if the clearances exceed those shown below. Cam
followers stamped with the letter "S" on the pin, roller and follower body are equipped
with an oversize pin and roller. The same clearances apply to either a standard or
oversize cam follower assembly.
Examine the camshaft lobes for scoring, pitting or flat spots. Replace the camshaft
if necessary. (Refer to Direct Support Maintenance).
Check the cam follower-to-cylinder head clearance. The clearance must not exceed
.006 inch (0.015 cm) with used parts.
Examine the cam follower bores in the cylinder head to make sure they are clean,
smooth and free of score marks. If necessary, clean up the bores.
