d. Stop the engine.
e. Remove the camshaft sprocket cover.
f. Rotate the camshaft until the punch mark

on the camshaft driven gear aligns with the
punch mark on the camshaft drive gear as
shown. This is the condition in which piston
#1 is at top dead center (TDC).
NOTE:
The crankshaft can be rotated smoothly when
the spark plugs are removed.
WARNING
Be careful since the engine is hot.
g. With piston #1 at TDC, count the indicated
number of gear teeth and place marks

on the camshaft driven gear as
shown. When these marks align between
the centers of the camshaft drive and driven
gears, the corresponding valve lifter is at its
highest point.
