2.) If there is a gap at the tip of the follower
the cam should be shifted away from the
follower.
D. Apply “Prussian Blue” to entire cam track.
E. Rotate the cam shaft slowly with a small
handrank to ensure that:
1.) Both rollers are in contact with the cam rib
in dwell. Look for uniform bluing pattern.
2.) The follower is free at center of crossover
track.
3.) You do not encounter unusual resistance
in motion. The bluing pattern should be
fairly uniform from side to side during
motion. If a patch of blueing is worn off the
outside of the cam rib on one side of the
cam and not the other, shift the cam .002
to .005 inches in the direction of the worn
side. Do not overshift the cam or knocking
will occur.
4.) The cam bluing should never be worn off
the leading or exit edges of the cam ribs.
If so this is an indication that the cam is
not adjusted properly.
5.) There should be no looseness in any
dwell. If there is, adjust the eccentric input
cartridges to slightly preload the loosest
dwell.
F. Tighten the input cartridge capscrews and
scribe new match marks on cartridge and
housing.
G. Double check for endplay in output shaft.
Endplay is not permissible in output shaft.
H. Remove the input cartridges (one at a time)
and coat the surface between the shims and
the housing with “General Electric Silicone
Rubber RTV-6” (to insure against leakage) and
reinstall, aligning the match marks, tighten the
screws and dowel in place.
I. Remove the output cartridges (one at a time)
and coat the surface between the shims and
the housing with “General Electric Silicone
Rubber RTV-6” (to insure against leakage and
reinstall, aligning the match marks and tighten
the screws.
5. Install a new access cover.Press in flush with
housing.
6. Grease pack the main output bearing with
lubricant specified in the “General Service
Manual”.
7. Install new oil seals as described in the “General
Service Manual”.
8. Fill with lubricant recommended in the “General
Service Manual”. (See oil capacities below)
