33. INSTALL CAMSHAFT

NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be held level while it is being installed. If the camshaft is not level, the portion of the cylinder head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid this, the following steps should be carried out.

a. Apply new engine oil to the thrust portion and journal of the camshaft.





b. Align the timing marks (2 dot marks) of the camshaft drive with driven gears.
c. Place the camshaft on the cylinder head.
