NOTICE
When fitting the camshaft, use the slotted
holes of the cam sprockets and always
set the timing to match. If otherwise, no
intended performance can be expected and
more over, the engine may be damaged.
TIP
Install the cam sprocket as the scratch
line and 2CR mark face the outside of the
engine.
Installation
1. Fit the scratch line on the camshaft to the
compression top dead point 105 degree (K
mark position) to combine the camshaft
and cylinder head surface.
2. Adjust the valve timing (to the value stated
on the normal specifications) using the
long holes.
TIP
For valve timing adjustment, refer to the
KIT TOOL MANUAL.
