Camshaft Bearings: Installation

  1. Bearings are installed using bearing remover/installer tool. Install front and rear camshaft bearings first, to act as guides for remover/installer tool pilot. Note the following prior to installing camshaft bearings:
    • Position No. 1 bearing so that oil holes are equal distance from 6 o'clock position.
    • Position oil holes of No. 2, 3 and 4 bearings at 5 o'clock position. Oil holes will be toward left side of engine and even with bottom of cylinder bores.
    • Position No. 5 bearing oil hole at 12 o'clock position.
  2. Coat camshaft rear bore plug with sealer, and install flush to 1/32" (.79 mm) deep.
