(filtration, separation, oil

the development of the cam

possible. Equally important are
careful checks during engine
overhauls, ideally with
Prussian blue (engineer’s
blue) and a dummy shell or
straight edge.

If present, then the cam effect will manifest itself

in two ways:

1. Through uneven wear in horizontal direction,

with nearly no wear at the centre of the pin
and at the edges, but with easily noticeable
wear to the left and right of the oil bore.
2. The pin is not affected evenly throughout its
circumference. The cam effect is usually most
