NOTE: After the camshaft has been steam cleaned, do not
touch the machined surfaces with bare hands. This will
cause rust to form. Lubricate the camshaft with clean 15W-
40 oil before handling.
Inspection
Visually inspect the valve and injector lobes for damage.
NOTE: Cummins Engine Company, Inc. does not recom-
mend repairing camshafts by grinding the valve or injector
lobes.
If the camshaft is damaged, it must be replaced.
Visually inspect the camshaft gear for cracks, chipped, or
broken teeth.
Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance between the
gear and the shoulder on the camshaft.
NOTE: The clearance must not exceed 0.13 mm
[0.005-inch].
