Crankshaft Main & Connecting Rod Bearings: Camshaft: Installation
- Install camshaft in head and tighten thrust plate bolts. Cam must turn easily without excess end play. Turn camshaft to No. 6 overlap position (See Fig 1) and remove compression tool.
- Install oil line so that oil bores will give off spray between rocker arms and cams of intake and exhaust valves. Ensure that seals are used between line and rocker supports as well as under head of attaching bolts. Continue assembly in reverse order of removal.
