    6. Using the hexagonal portion of the No. 4 camshaft, align and attach the knock pin of the No. 4 camshaft with the pin hole of the camshaft timing exhaust gear assembly.
      NOTE: Because the gears' timing mark positions may shift due to looseness of the No. 1 chain, use the hexagonal portion of the camshaft to hold the No. 3 camshaft in place until the No. 1 chain tensioner is installed.
    7. Remove the pin from the No. 2 chain tensioner.
  8. INSTALL CHAIN TENSIONER SLIPPER (for Bank 1) 

    HINT:
