Camshaft lobe lift
Callout Quantity Type of Engine Specification Description
A - Naturally aspirated Inlet lobe 7.382 to 7.482 mm (0.2906 to 0.2946 inch)
A - Naturally aspirated Exhaust lobe 7.404 to 7.504 mm (0.2914 to 0.2954 inch)
A - Turbocharged Inlet lobe 7.031 to 7.130 mm (0.2768 to 0.2807 inch)
A - Turbocharged Exhaust lobe 7.963 to 8.063 mm (0.3135 to 0.3174 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 actual camshaft lobe lift. Maximum permissible clearance between the actual lobe lift and the specified lobe lift of a new camshaft ... 0.05 mm (0.021 inch)
