Camshaft Bearings: Installation

  1. Install front and rear bearings first. These bearings act as guides for pilot and center remaining bearings being pulled into place. Assemble tool on driver handle. Align oil holes. Install camshaft front and rear bearings by driving toward center of block.
    NOTE: No. 1 bearing should be installed so oil holes are equidistant from 6 o'clock position; No. 2 through No. 4 bearings should be installed with oil holes at 5 o'clock position; and No. 5 at 12 o'clock position.
  2. Using camshaft bearing remover, install two center bearings with oil holes aligned with holes in block. Coat camshaft plug with sealer. Plug should be installed flush to 1/32" (.79 mm) deep and parallel with block surface. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.
