Camshaft & Injection Pump Drive Gears: Installation

  1. Coat camshaft and bearings with lubricant. Camshaft and crankshaft sprockets must be aligned as shown in Figure. Check injection pump driven gear bushing. Install injection pump driven gear, spring, shim and snap ring. If not within .002" to .006" (.05 mm to .15 mm), replace shim to obtain clearance.
  2. Shims are available from .080" to .115" in .003" increments (2.03 mm to .08 mm in .08 mm increments). Position camshaft dowel pin at 3 o'clock, align the "O" marks on pump drive and driven gears. With camshaft held in rearward position, slide pump drive gear on the camshaft.
  3. Timing indicator attaching stud must be installed and properly torqued before installing power steering pump bracket. Bleed valve lifters. Start engine, recharge A/C system. Check for possible leaks. Check and adjust timing.
