Installing the Camshaft

Remove the large zip tie from the cam chain.

Place the camshaft into the cylinder head, and attach the cam chain. Keep tension on the left (forward) side of the cam chain, and align the two timing marks on the cam sprocket so they face upward, and the dot on the cam sprocket is level with the top of the cylinder head.

Install the large washer (A) with the proper orientation.



Install the bearing. Install the bolt and washer (B), and the retaining clip [C]. Install the rubber plug (A).



Place the rocker cover on top of the cylinder head, and verify the two timing marks on the cam sprocket are properly aligned in the check holes.

Double check to verify the flywheel is still at TDC. If necessary, remove the rocker cover, rotate the flywheel, and/or move the timing chain on the sprocket to get the proper alignment.



Repeat the previous steps until the flywheel and cam sprocket are properly aligned.
After proper alignment is verified, remove the rocker cover.
