Section 58 (Engine Mechanical (H6DO)): Camshaft: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Subaru Outback. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Apply engine oil to camshaft journals, and install the camshaft.
Install the camshaft cap.
1. Apply liquid gasket sparingly to back side of front camshaft cap as shown in the figure.
  CAUTION: Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Applying excessively may cause excess gasket to flow toward cam journal, resulting in engine seizure.
  
  Liquid gasket:
  
  THREE BOND 1280B (Part No. K0877YA018)
  
  Applying liquid gasket diameter:
  
  2.0±0.5 mm (0.079±0.020 in)
