Camshaft Gear Assembly Series 60 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Model

Series 60 EGR uses a camshaft gear assembly. Camshaft, camshaft drive gear and camshaft gear cover are the indivual parts part of this assembly. The camshaft gear assembly is located on top of the cylinder head and is removed and installed as an assembly. The camshaft actuates the intake and exhaust valves and injector operating mechanism. See Figure "Camshaft and Related Parts" .‪

Figure 1. Camshaft and Related Parts

The camshaft is supported by seven bearing assemblies, consisting of precision-type, replaceable bearing shell inserts that are split at their center lines. Current non-tin-plated production bearing shells are identified by their shiny aluminum color. Current tin-plated service bearing shells have a dull gray sheen. The lower bearing shell is positioned in a saddle that is integral with the cylinder head. The upper bearing shell is held in place by a machined camshaft cap. Upper and lower bearing shells are identical and have locating tangs and oil holes. Only the upper bearing shell oil holes index with oil supply holes in the camshaft caps. These camshaft caps are precision line-bored after assembly to the cylinder head. ‪

Note: Caps are NOT interchangeable once the head is finished. Caps are numbered and must NOT be interchanged with other caps of the same part number from stock or from a different cylinder head. See Figure "Camshaft Assembly and Related Parts" .

Figure 2. Camshaft Assembly and Related Parts

The No. 4 camshaft cap is secured to the cylinder head with three bolts; cap numbers 2, 3, 5, and 6 use two bolts each. Caps one and seven have a stud and one bolt each. The stud and nut arrangement on the end caps (1 and 7) allows rocker arm shaft removal without disturbing the gasket eliminator seal from the end camshaft caps to the cylinder head. There are four different camshaft cap configurations. Only the intermediate caps No. 2, 3, 5, and 6 are identical but must not be interchanged during re-assembly. See Figure "Camshaft Bolt and Cap Location" .‪

Note: Caps are NOT interchangeable once the head is finished. Caps are numbered and must NOT be interchanged with other caps of the same part number from stock or from a different cylinder head. See Figure "Camshaft Assembly and Related Parts" .

The camshaft is driven by a camshaft drive gear, located in the camshaft gear cover assembly on top of the gear case, and is driven, through a series of intermediate gears, by the crankshaft timing gear. Refer to "1.24.2.1 Check Engine Timing" for gear train information and camshaft drive gear lash measurement and adjustment procedures. See Figure "Engine Gear Series 60 EGR" .‪

Figure 4. Engine Gear Series 60 EGR

A cover is provided at the rear end of the camshaft and is secured to the No. 7 camshaft bearing cap and the cylinder head by three bolts. See Figure "Rear Camshaft Access Cover" .‪

Figure 5. Rear Camshaft Access Cover

Vertical oil passages at the front and rear of the cylinder head deliver oil from the cylinder block front and rear oil galleries to the No. 1 and 7 lower camshaft bearing saddles. From there, the oil is directed upward ( through the enlarged stud hole) to the No. 1 and 7 upper bearing caps. A drilled passage in each of these caps exits at the rocker arm shaft seat area, where it indexes with a hole in each rocker arm shaft. The rocker arm shafts have internal oil passages that deliver oil to the rocker arm bushings and intermediate upper camshaft bearings. Some of the oil supplied to the rocker arm bushing passes through the oil hole in the bushing to the rocker arm. The rocker arm is drilled to supply oil to the camshaft follower, roller pin, and bushing. The rocker arm is also drilled to supply oil to the valve adjusting screw, valve button, retainer clip, intake, and exhaust valve stems and the fuel injector follower. The No. 4 camshaft cap is “Y” drilled, forming an oil path connection between the front and rear rocker arm shafts, to ensure complete lubrication.
