Inspection

  • 1. After removing, wash all parts with gasoline, wipe and dry.

Inspect the camshaft. If there are scuffs, deep scratches, shells, chips, cracks on the necks, cams and gear of the oil pump drive, replace the camshaft.

Measure the diameters of the camshaft journals,

  • 2. Check the push rods. Replace bent rods. If there are signs of wear, scuffing, shells on the tips of the rods, the rods should also be replaced.

It should be noted that the length of the engine rod mod. 402 is 283 mm, and the engine mod. 4021 - 287 mm.

  • 3. Check pushers. If there are signs of wear, pitting, scuffing, etc. on the working surfaces, replace the pushers.
  • 4. If the camshaft gear is damaged or cracked, it must be replaced.
  • 5. Measure the axial clearance of the camshaft. To do this, assemble the shaft with a gear wheel, put a spacer ring and a thrust flange on the front end of the camshaft, then press the gear wheel and tighten the gear wheel mounting bolt with a washer.

Tighten the bolt to 55–60 Nm (5.5–6.0 kgf m).

Measure the gap between the thrust flange of the camshaft and the hub of the gear wheel with a feeler gauge, it should be within 0.1–0.2 mm.

Installation

Install the camshaft in the reverse order of removal.

Before installing, lubricate the camshaft journals and cams, tappets and pushrods with engine oil.
