  1. Lubricate the camshaft journals with clean engine oil.
    NOTE:

    Position the left side camshaft so that the camshaft sprocket dowel is near the 1 o'clock position, this will place the camshaft at the neutral position easing the installation of the camshaft bearing caps.

  2. Install the camshaft into the cylinder head while aligning the camshaft sprocket dowel near the 1 o'clock position.
    NOTE:

    The camshaft caps are marked for location. The arrow must point to the front of the engine.
