- Insert
proper cam follower (flat or radius) for particular application into
desired end of sleeve.
- Tighten
middle set screw until it touches the cam follower shank – then
back off one-quarter turn. The
cam follower will now be free to move up and down, but it is
retained in the sleeve so it cannot fall out.
- Hold
the cam follower against the end of the sleeve while installing the
dial indicator in the opposite end.
- Slide
in indicator, allowing the sweep hand to rotate until indicator is
nearly out of travel, then tighten set screw.
(It is important that the cam follower be bottomed out
against the end of the sleeve before the indicator runs out of
travel. This will
prevent over-travel damage to the indicator.)
- Make
sure lifter bore is clean, free from grit and lightly oiled.
- Grasp
cam check sleeve, insert into bore, and push tool firmly into the
bore using a slight twisting motion.
- Rotate
cam one full turn, allowing tool to be pushed up as lobe rolls over
on full lift, stopping at cams lowest point (base circle).
- Pull
tool up (out of bore) an additional .040” to .060” and set
indicator to zero.
NOTE:
Do not bump tool when in use and always check to see that
indicator will zero when passing over the low point (base circle) of
cam.
If after
extended use the cam check sleeve loses some of its gripping force in
lifter bore, check for worn or damaged o-rings.
Replace as needed with standard o-rings as follows:
7/8”
diameter (Ford) end – 3/32” thick x 11/16” I.D. x 7/8” O.D.
27/32”
diameter (GM) end – 3/32” thick x 5/8” I.D. x 13/18” O.D.
