Checking the camshaft (VAZ-21011)

The bearing journals of the camshaft must not have any nicks, dents, scratches, or aluminum dragging from the bearing housings.

Wear on the working surfaces of the cams exceeding 0.5 mm, as well as scoring and wear of the cams in the form of faceting, are not allowed.

Place the camshaft with its outer journals on two prisms placed on the surface plate and measure the radial runout of the middle journals with an indicator, which should be no more than 0.04 mm. If the runout exceeds the specified value, straighten the shaft on a straightening press.
