CAMSHAFT - LEFT
DESCRIPTION
The camshafts consist of powdered metal steel lobes which are sinter-bonded to a steel tube. A steel post or nose
piece is friction-welded to the steel camshaft tube. Five bearing journals are machined into the camshaft, four on the
steel tube and one on the steel nose piece. Camshaft end play is controlled by two thrust walls that border the nose
piece journal. Engine oil enters the hollow camshafts at the third journaland lubricates every intake lobe rocker

REMOVAL
1. Remove cylinder head cover (1) (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: When the timing chain is removed and the cylinder heads are still installed, DO NOT forcefully
rotate the camshafts or crankshaft independently of each other. Severe valve and/or piston damage can
occur.
CAUTION: When removing the cam sprocket, timing chains or camshaft, Failure to use Special Tool 8350
will result in hydraulic tensioner ratchet over extension, requiring timing chain cover removal to reset the
tensioner ratchet.
2. Set engine to TDC cylinder #1, camshaft sprocket V8 marks at the 12 o’clock position.
3. Mark one link on the secondary timing chain on both sides of the V8 mark on the camshaft sprocket to aid in
installation.

CAUTION: Do not hold or pry on the camshaft target wheel (Located on the right side camshaft sprocket)
for any reason, Severe damage will occur to the target wheel resulting in a vehicle no start condition.
4. Loosen butDO NOTremove the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt. Leave the bolt snug against the sprocket.
NOTE: The timing chain tensioners must be secured prior to removing the camshaft sprockets. Failure to
secure tensioners will allow the tensioners to extend, requiring timing chain cover removal in order to reset
tensioners.
CAUTION: Do not force wedge past the narrowest point between the chain strands. Damage to the tension-
ers may occur.
5. Position Special Tool 8350 (4) timing chain wedge between the timing chain strands, tap the tool to securely
wedge the timing chain against the tensioner arm and guide.
NOTE: When gripping the camshaft, place the pli-
ers on the tube portion of the camshaft only. Do
not grip the lobes or the sprocket areas.
6. Hold the camshaft (3) with adjustable pliers (2)
while removing the camshaft sprocket bolt and
sprocket (1).
7. Using the pliers, gently allow the camshaft to rotate
15° clockwise until the camshaft is in the neutral
position (no valve load).

CAUTION: Do not hold or pry on the camshaft tar-
get wheel for any reason, Severe damage will
occur to the target wheel. A damaged target wheel
could cause a vehicle no start condition.
4. Loosen butDO NOTremove the camshaft sprocket
retaining bolt (2). Leave bolt snug against sprocket
(3).
NOTE: The timing chain tensioners must be secured prior to removing the camshaft sprockets. Failure to
secure tensioners will allow the tensioners to extend, requiring timing chain cover removal in order to reset
tensioners.
CAUTION: Do not force wedge (3) past the narrowest point between the chain strands. Damage to the ten-
sioners may occur.
5. Position Special Tool 8350 timing chain wedge (3) between the timing chain strands. Tap the tool to securely
wedge the timing chain against the tensioner arm and guide.

ENGINE DATA PLATE
DESCRIPTION
The engine data plate contains specific information
that is helpful to servicing and obtaining parts for the
engine. The data plate is on the cylinder head cover.
Information that can be found on the data plate
includes:
Engine Part Number
Date of Engine Manufacture
Engine Serial Number
Control Parts List (CPL)
Engine Rated Horsepower
Engine Firing Order
Engine Displacement
Valve Lash Reset Specifications
If the engine data plate is missing or not legible, the engine serial numberis used for engine identification. The
engine serial number is stamped on the right side of the block, on top of the oil cooler cavity.

AIR CLEANER ELEMENT
REMOVAL
Testing Air Cleaner Element using Filter Minder™
Do not attempt to unnecessarily remove top of air
cleaner housing for air cleaner element inspection
on diesel engines.
The air cleaner (filter) housing (5) is equipped with an
air Filter Minder™ gauge (3). This air flow restriction
gauge will determine when air cleaner element is
restricted and should be replaced.
The Filter Minder™ (5) consists of a diaphragm and
calibrated spring sealed inside of a plastic housing. A
yellow colored disc (2) attached to diaphragm moves
along a graduated scale on side of Filter Minder. After
the engine has been shut off, a ratcheting device
located within Filter Minder will hold yellow disc at
highest restriction that air cleaner element has experi-
enced. A drop in air pressure due to an air cleaner
element restriction moves diaphragm and yellow disc
will indicate size of air drop.
CAUTION: Certain engine degreasers or cleaners
may discolor or damage plastic housing of Filter
Minder. Cover and tape Filter Minder if any engine
degreasers or cleaners are to be used.
To test, turn engine off. If yellow disc (2) has reached
red colored zone (3) on graduated scale, air cleaner
element should be replaced. Refer to Removal /
Installation.
Resetting Filter Minder:After air cleaner (filter) ele-
ment has been replaced, press rubber button on top of Filter Minder. This will allow yellow colored disc to reset.
After button has been pressed, yellow disc should spring back to UP position.
If Filter Minder gauge has reached red colored zone, and after an examination of air cleaner (filter) element, ele-
ment appears to be clean, high reading may be due to a temporary condition such as snow build-up at air intake.
Temporary high restrictions may also occur if air cleaner (filter) element has gotten wet such as during a heavy rain
or snow. If this occurs, allow element to dry out during normal engine operation. Reset rubber button on top of Filter
Minder and retest after element has dried.

4. With the engine in this position, valve lash can be measured at the following rocker arms:INTAKE 1–2–4 /
EXHAUST 1–3–5. Measure the valve lash by inserting a feeler gauge between the rocker arm socket and cross-
head. Refer to VALVE LASH LIMIT CHART for the correct specifications. If the measurement fallswithinthe
limits, adjustment/resettingis notnecessary. If measurement finds the lashoutsideof the limits, adjustment/
resettingisrequired.
VALVE LASH LIMIT CHART
INTAKE EXHAUST
0.152 mm ( 0.006 in.) MIN. 0.533 mm (0.021 in.) MIN.
0.381 mm (0.015 in.) MAX. 0.863 mm (0.034 in.) MAX.
NOTE:
If measured valve lash falls within these specifications, no adjustment/reset is necessary. Engine operation within
these ranges has no adverse affect on performance, emissions, fuel economy or level of engine noise.
5. If adjustment/resetting is required, loosen the lock
nut on rocker arms and turn the adjusting screw
until the desired lash is obtained:
INTAKE0.254 mm (0.010 in.)
EXHAUST0.660 mm (0.026 in.) Tighten the lock
nut to 24 Nꞏm (18 ft. lbs.) and recheck the valve
lash.
6. Using the crankshaft barring tool, rotate thecrank-
shaftone revolution (360°) to align the damper
TDC mark to the 12 o’clock position.
7. With the engine in this position, valve lash can be
measured at the remaining rocker arms:INTAKE
3–5–6 / EXHAUST 2–4–6. Use the same method
as above for determining whether adjustment is
necessary, and adjust those that are found to be
outside of the limits.
8. Install the cylinder head cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD COVER(S) - INSTAL-
LATION).
9. Connect the battery negative cables.
REMOVAL
1. Disconnect the battery negative cables.
2. Remove the cylinder head cover (Refer to 9 -
ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDER HEAD
COVER(S) - REMOVAL).
3. Disconnect the injector harness connectors at cyl-
inder head cover gasket. Remove all injector sole-
noid nuts. Remove cylinder head cover gasket.
4. Remove injector(s) for cylinder(s) to be serviced.
(Refer to 14 - FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION/
FUELINJECTOR-REMOVAL)or(Referto14-
FUEL SYSTEM/FUEL INJECTION/FUEL INJEC-
TOR - REMOVAL).
5. Remove the rocker housing.
6. Remove the rocker arms and crossheads from the
cylinder(s) to be serviced. Mark each component
so they can be installed in their original position.
7. Using the crankshaft barring tool # 7471–B (2), rotate the engine to position the damper mark in the 12 o’clock
position.At this engine position, cylinders #1 and #6 can be serviced.
