• Scored journals

• Low valve lift

• Engine misfire

• Reduced compression or power

• Metallic particles in the oil

• Camshaft-position signal faults on applicable engines

• Abnormal valvetrain noise

• Distributor drive-gear wear

  

Recommended checks before installation:

  

• Measure every journal

• Measure lobe lift

• Inspect the roller-lifter contact surfaces

• Check camshaft straightness

• Inspect the distributor drive gear

• Install new or verified lifters as required

• Check end float and retainer condition

• Apply assembly lubricant during installation

• Verify camshaft and crankshaft timing marks
