Duramax LLY – ENGINE DISASSEMBLY – Timing Chain, Drive Sprockets, Drive Gear Removal

1. Measure timing chain deflection. Deflection must not exceed 0.810 in. (21 mm). Use dial indicator Jโ€“8001 (Figure 2-89).

2. Measure camshaft end play. End play should not exceed 0.012 in. (0.3 mm). If end play exceeds 0.012 in. (0.3 mm), camshaft sprocket, thrust plate, or spacer is worn and will have to be replaced.
