This is usually a rear cylinder (5 or 6) but could be any. Cause This condition could be caused by the wrong camshaft being installed in the engine at the reman facility. Correction: If you experience this concern, inspect the camshafts to ensure the correct camshaft is installed in each intake and exhaust position by comparing the ring strategy to either the engine that was removed(best way), or the charts below for the engine you are working on. If the wrong camshaft is installed either replace the camshaft with the same one from the original engine if undamaged or a new camshaft. Note: It is not necessary to replace the engine for this concern. Please send an email with pictures of the concern as well as the serial number and date o the side of the engine to [email protected] . NOTE: Ring strategy camshaft identi cation is a series of rings along the camshaft that are either simply cast on the camshaft or machined down. There are 5 rings on each camshaft. Identi cation occurs by the order in which the machined or cast rings are on the camshaft. See picture below for example. 1=Cast Ring 2= Machined Ring The tables below will help you identify the correct camshafts for your engine.
