Work safely. Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance, and repair are caused by
failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing
potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards.
This person should also have the necessary training, skills, and tools to perform these functions
properly. Safety precautions and warnings are provided in this instruction and on the product. If these
hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons.
Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard.
Therefore, the warnings in this publication and the warnings that are on the product are not all inclusive.
If a tool, a procedure, a work method, or operating technique that is not recommended by Caterpillar is
used, ensure that it is safe for you and for other people to use. Ensure that the product will not be
damaged or the product will not be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance, or the repair
procedures that are used.

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.

Clean the camshaft with a high-pressure hot washer, solvent, a degreaser or a caustic solution, and rinse.
If the method of cleaning does not contain a corrosion or rust inhibitor coat the camshaft with clean
engine oil or a rust inhibitor to prevent corrosion or rust. A corrosion or rust inhibitor should be applied
within one hour after cleaning.
Always wear protective clothing and eye protection when working with
cleaning solvents.

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.

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.

Note: The camshaft must be cleaned thoroughly prior to beginning any inspection work. Dirty
camshafts can contaminate the solution and mask indications. Be careful not to damage the camshaft
with improper and abrasive cleaning, even a small amount of damage may mask indications.
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.
Illustration 68 g03342709
Illustration 69 g03342777
If there is a crack in the flange area of the camshaft, do not reuse the camshaft.
Note: Refer to Reuse and Salvage Guideline, SEBF8042, "Resue and Salvage for Crankshafts" for
r462het
additional information on how to perform a Magnetic Particle Inspection.

Illustration 75 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 makes use of 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.
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 one
hour after the camshaft has been cleaned.
When the camshaft will not be inspected for one 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 78.
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 79.
Refer to SEHS9031Special Instruction, "Storage Procedure for Caterpillar Products" for more
information.
