  1. Lubricate the camshaft journals and the bearings with clean engine oil.
  2. Install the camshaft sprocket bolt into the camshaft front bolt hole.
  3. CAUTION:

    All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.

  4. Using the bolt as a handle, carefully install the camshaft into the engine block.
  5. Remove the bolt from the front of the camshaft.

    NOTE:
    • Properly locate the CMP actuator onto the locating pin of the camshaft.
    • The sprocket teeth and timing chain teeth must mesh.
    • The camshaft and the crankshaft sprocket alignment mark MUST be aligned properly.
    • Do not use the CMP solenoid valve again. Install a NEW valve during assembly.
  13. Identify the alignment hole (1) in the rear face of the CMP actuator and the locating pin (2) on the front face of the camshaft.
