1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 Bearing covers on intake camshaft 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 Bearing covers on outlet camshaft - 1.2. Install intake camshaft. Note the sequence in which the bearing covers are installed.
- 1.2.1. First fit bearing covers 5 and 9 and tighten the hexagon nuts alternately and crosswise.
- 1.2.2. Repeat the process for bearing covers 1 and 13.
- 1.2.3. Repeat the process for bearing cover 5.
- 1.2.4. Repeat the process for bearing covers 3 and 11.
- 1.3. Install outlet camshaft. Note the sequence in which the bearing covers are installed. Use the same torque and torque angle as for the intake camshaft.
- 1.3.1. First fit bearing covers 6 and 10 and tighten the hexagon nuts alternately and crosswise.
- 1.3.2. Repeat the process for bearing covers 2 and 14.
- 1.3.3. Repeat the process for bearing cover 8.
- 1.3.4. Repeat the process for bearing covers 4 and 12.
