• Tightening specifications. Refer to OVERVIEW - VALVETRAIN .
• Secure crankshaft in "TDC" position using Crankshaft Holder3242.

-- Mount the Camshaft Fitting Tool - T40096T40096 onto the teeth of the intake camshaft so that one arm of the clamping tool engages in one sprocket half.

• The wider arm must engage into the wider half of the sprocket.

-- Tension the tensioning tool with the thumb wheel until the tooth faces align.

The camshaft thrust bearings and the bearing cap for cylinder bank 2 are marked after work is performed on the exhaust side to prevent them from being installed incorrectly:

• Both alignment sleeves -arrows- must be inserted into the openings on the thrust bearing.
• The alignment sleeves must engage in the openings in the cylinder head.

-- Check the installation direction of the thrust bearings:

• The round edge -arrow 2- points towards the intake side.

• The bolt -arrow- in the Camshaft Adjustment PinsT40060 must be perpendicular to the center axis of the camshaft.
• The exhaust camshaft -1- must be positioned so that the groove -arrow A- runs parallel above the joint -arrow B- between the thrust bearing and the bearing cap.

-- Apply the appropriate bearing cap to the corresponding thrust bearing.

-- Loop a cable tie -arrows- on the right and left around the thrust bearing and the bearing cap and tighten them.

• The bolt -arrow- in the Camshaft Adjustment PinsT40060 must be perpendicular to the center axis of the camshaft.
• The exhaust camshaft -1- must be positioned so that the groove -arrow A- runs parallel above the joint -arrow B- between the thrust bearing and the bearing cap.

The rest of the installation is performed in reverse order of removal, noting the following:

-- Remove the Camshaft Fitting Tool - T40096T40096.

-- Install the camshaft timing chains. Refer to CAMSHAFT TIMING CHAIN, REMOVING FROM CAMSHAFTS .
