Summary
This guideline applies to all camshafts for Caterpillar engines regardless of bore size. This guideline
provides the criteria for inspecting a camshaft. Camshafts that meet the requirement in this guideline can
be expected to give normal performance in the same application until the next engine overhaul. Life will
vary depending on application, load, lubrication, and environment.
This guideline contains the latest standards of engineering, which will help minimize owning and
operating costs. A part is expected to reach the next Planned Component Rebuild (PCR) if the part
meets the specifications within this guideline and the part is intended for a similar application. Use this
guideline to determine whether a part should be reused. Do not install a part that is not reusable.
During reconditioning, correct any condition that might have caused the original failure.
The dimensions and tolerances provided are to return a part / component to specification. The
dimensional information alone is not solely used to condemn a part from reuse.

Preparation Recommendations
Maximum air pressure at the nozzle must be less than 205 kPa
(30 psi) for cleaning purposes.
Before you inspect a part, clean the part thoroughly to ensure that all components are free from rust,
oil, burrs, and debris prior to inspection. A surface irregularity can hide the indication of an
unacceptable defect.
https://sis2.cat.com/#/print-preview/service/77932ef9-eb8b-4850-b842-7e8d01a13185 5/55
14/2/24, 11:56 SIS 2.0
Use a proper lifting device to provide safety to the operator. Also, use a proper lifting device to
prevent damage to the part when you lift the part.
Do not use pressurized air to dry internal components. Compressed air has moisture and
contaminants that can cause premature failure of internal components.
Put hydraulic oil on all machined surfaces to prevent rust or corrosion if inspection is not done
immediately after cleaning. Carefully store the parts in a clean container.
Inspect all flange mating surfaces for fretting. Ensure that flange mating surfaces are true and free
from raised material resulting from rust, nicks, and dents.
Refer to SEBF8148 Reuse and Salvage Guidelines , "General Salvage and Reconditioning Techniques"
for available Crack Detection Methods.
Measurement Techniques
NOTICE
Precise measurements shall be made when the component and
measurement equipment are at 20° C (68° F). Measurements
shall be made after both the component and measurement
equipment have had sufficient time to soak at 20° C (68° F).
Ensuring that both the surface and core of the material is at the
same temperature will increase the accuracy of the
measurement taken.

Polishing Equipment
Tappets or Followers
During normal engine operations, the mating surfaces of each camshaft lobe and tappet or follower
establish respective individual wear patterns. If a tappet, or follower is switched to a different location in
the engine, the established wear patterns on the camshaft lobes may be incompatible. This could result
in premature wear to either the camshaft and/or tappets. Remember the following four items for
evaluating the reusability of tappets or followers.
1. If a camshaft is used again, make sure that the original tappets or followers are installed in the
original locations or replaced with new tappets or followers.
2. New tappets or followers and used tappets or followers that have a normal, smooth wear pattern can
be installed with a camshaft that is used if the camshaft does not have wear on the camshaft lobe
that can be easily seen or felt. Caterpillar recommends installing a replacement camshaft if the
tappets or followers or the camshaft has heavy wear.
3. Tappets or followers can be reused with original camshaft if in "like new" condition. Used tappets or
followers cannot be installed on a new camshaft. Do not use any tappets or followers that
operated against damaged camshaft lobes.
4. A tappet or follower is wearing normally if the wear surface has a “mirror-like” texture. The dull
appearance of the contact surface of the tappet or follower could indicate rapid wear of the tappet or
follower and camshaft and the tappet or follower should be replaced.
Visual Inspection
Examine camshafts only under proper lighting. The best results of inspection can be obtained by rotating
the camshaft and moving the camshaft to avoid lighting glare. Poor lighting conditions could cause
damage to be missed during visual inspection.

Some camshafts can have fissures or cracks in the flange area. Therefore, inspect the flange area
visually and then with the magnetic particle method to reveal any cracks or weakness. If cracks or
fissures can be seen without magnification or magnetic particle inspection, the camshaft cannot be
reused. Also, if any cracks or fissures in the flange area are revealed during the Magnetic Particle
Inspection, the camshaft cannot be reused. Look for more information in , SEBF8148 Reuse and
Salvage Guidelines , "General Salvage and Reconditioning Techniques".

Illustration 77 g01545973
Measuring runout of the camshaft
Place the vee blocks that are for support under the first bearing journal and the last bearing journal.
Ensure that the camshaft and vee blocks are stationary. Use the 8T-5096 Dial Indicator to measure
runout.
Lubricate the camshaft bearing journals and install the camshaft into the engine block. Use a torque
wrench on the rear end of the camshaft and check the amount of initial torque that is required to rotate
the camshaft inside the camshaft bearings.
Polishing
After cleaning the camshaft, visually inspect each camshaft journal and each camshaft lobe for damage.
Polishing camshafts uses identical procedures, materials, and required equipment as polishing
crankshafts. Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guidelines, SEBF8042 , "Reuse and Salvage for Crankshafts"
for polishing instructions.
Any camshaft lobes with corrosive damage (rust), minor damage from debris (indentations), and fatigue
pitting need to be polished before determining reusability. Follow the procedures below to polish a
camshaft lobe with “touch-up” polishing.
1. Polish the camshaft lobe with Emery polishing paper. 1U-6858 Abrasive Material (200 grit or less)
should be used. This part of the procedure is the “rough polishing” of the camshaft lobes.
2. Polish the camshaft lobe with Emery polishing paper 1U-8283 (600 grit or less) should be used. This
part of the procedure is the “fine polishing” of the camshaft lobes.

14/2/24, 11:56 SIS 2.0
3. Wash the camshaft or clean the camshaft after polishing to remove any excess grit or debris from
polishing.

Storage Procedures
Proper protection of the camshaft from corrosion is important. Corrosion will start in as little as 1 hour
after the camshaft has been cleaned.
When the camshaft will not be inspected for 1 hour or less, the camshaft should be coated with a rust or
corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil. The camshaft should be individually wrapped to
prevent contamination, and should be stored in a protected area to avoid damage. See Illustration 80.
When the camshaft will not be inspected in two days or more, the camshaft should be coated with a rust
or corrosion inhibitor or coated with clean engine oil and should be placed in a container which is clean
and structurally solid. The container should be covered or wrapped in plastic to prevent damage and
contamination to the camshaft. See Illustration 81.
Refer to SEHS9031 Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more
information.
