  6. Set the part so that the installation surface of the intake manifold is on the upper side.
  7. When the cam carrier LH has been disassembled
    NOTE: When the cam carrier LH has been disassembled, perform the following steps also.
    1. Install the cam sprocket LH. Ref. to MECHANICAL (H4DOTC)>Cam Sprocket>INSTALLATION>CAM SPROCKET LH .
    2. Install the high-pressure fuel pump. Ref. to FUEL INJECTION (FUEL SYSTEMS) (H4DOTC)>High Pressure Fuel Pump>INSTALLATION .
    NOTE: Install the high-pressure fuel pump so that the cam lobes on the intake camshaft LH are positioned as shown in the figure. Perform adjustment within the range of zero-lift (in range where it can be turned lightly by hand).
