CAMSHAFTS
INSTALLING THE CAMSHAFT
1. Install:
• Exhaust camshaft "1"
• Intake camshaft "2"
Installation steps:
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a
wrench.
• Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the
camshafts.
• Apply the engine oil on the decompression
system.
b. Align the T.D.C. mark "a" on the rotor with
the align mark "b" on the crankcase cover
when piston is at T.D.C. on compression
stroke.
c. Fit the timing chain "3" onto both camshaft
sprockets and install the camshafts on the
cylinder head.
The camshafts should be installed onto the cyl-
inder head so that the punch mark "c" on the
exhaust camshaft and the punch mark "d" on
the intake camshaft must align with the cylinder
head surface, as shown in the illustration.
Do not turn the crankshaft during the cam-
shaft installation. Damage or improper
valve timing will result.
d. Install the clips, camshaft caps "4" and bolts
(camshaft cap) "5".
• Before installing the clips, cover the cylinder
head with a clean rag to prevent the clips from
into the cylinder head cavity.
• Apply the molybdenum disulfide oil on the
thread of the bolts (camshaft cap).
• Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in two
or three steps in the proper tightening se-
quence as shown.
The bolts (camshaft cap) must be tightened
evenly, or damage to the cylinder head,
camshaft caps, and camshaft will result.
Bolt (camshaft cap):
10 Nm (1.0 m•kg, 7.2 ft•lb)
