NOTE: When installing the camshaft bearings, always look in order to ensure that the camshaft bearing lubrication hole is located above the 3 o'clock position (1) or the 9 o'clock position (2). The proper positioning of the camshaft bearing lubrication hole is in order to ensure the best lubrication of the engine camshaft journals.
