Camshaft Bearings

Usage:

Remove And Install Camshaft Bearings

START BY:

a. remove camshafts

1. Install tooling (A) as follows:

a. Install the cam bearing pilot in the camshaft bearing.

b. Put the back-up plate in position so the bearing is between the parts.

c. Install the bolt to hold the tooling together.

NOTE: Tooling (D) is used in place of tooling (B), and (C) to remove and install the camshaft bearings when the flywheel and front drive housings have been removed from the cylinder block.

2. Install tool (B) on the flywheel housing as shown, or install tooling (B) and (C) on the front drive housing. Tooling (C) must be used behind the holes for clearance to install tool (B) on the front drive housing.

3. Use tooling (E) as needed to get the correct length. Connect the extensions to the stud on tooling (A).

NOTE: The threaded shaft, thrust bearing assembly and nut (all part of 8S2241 Camshaft Bearing Installation And Removal Group) can be used with an 8H684 Ratchet Wrench in place of tooling (F) if a hydraulic puller is not available.

4. Connect tooling (F) to extensions of tool group (E), and pull the bearing from its bore in the cylinder block.

NOTE: When the bearings are installed in the bore of the block, the bearing joint must be on the horizontal centerline of the bore and the upper oil hole of the bearing toward the vee of the block. The upper bearing oil hole must be put 20 ± 5° above the horizontal centerline of the bore in the block, and the location of the lower (outside or outboard) bearing oil hole will be (and must be) 20 ± 5° below the horizontal centerline of the bearing bore as shown. Also, the bearing joint of the right side bearings must be toward the vee of the block, and the left side bearings must be toward the outside of the block.
