Subaru Engine >> CAMSHAFT IDENTIFICATION


Camshaft Identification On
Subaru 1.6 & 1.8L Engines

The AERA Technical Committee offers the following information to assist technicians in camshaft identification and possible reuse limits on Subaru engines. Although the camshafts from different engines look similar, substitutions are not permitted.

Subaru has marked their camshafts with numbers for identification purposes. Refer to the chart for easy reference and reuse limits.

Cam & ID Lobe Lift Push Rod
Engine Lifter Type Mark (Int & Exh) Length

1.6L OHV Solid 51 1.2693-1.2732 8.620-8.624
1.8L OHV Solid 72 1.2693-1.2732 9.080-9.100
1.8L OHV Hydraulic 76 1.4134-1.4173 9.120-9.140

The wear limit for cam lobes on all camshafts is .059 (.15 mm) less than the listed specification. The maximum camshaft end play is .008 (.20 mm) and is controlled by a replaceable thrust plate.
