NOTE: At this point, oil the camshaft bearings, cam
lobes, and the three seating journals on the cylinder
head.
NOTE: Note the position of the alignment marks on
the end of the camshaft. They must be parallel with
the cylinder head cover mating surface. If rotating the
camshaft and sprocket is necessary for alignment, do
not allow the crankshaft to rotate and be sure the
cam lobes end up in the down position.
15. When the camshaft assembly is seated, ensure the
following.
A. Piston still at top-dead-center.
B. Camshaft lobes directed down (toward the pis-
ton).
C. Camshaft alignment marks parallel to the valve
cover mating surface.
D. Recessed side of the sprocket directed toward the
cam lobes.
E. Camshaft alignment pin and sprocket alignment
hole (smallest) are aligned.
16. Place the tab washer onto the sprocket making sure it
covers the pin in the alignment hole.

18. Rotate the crankshaft until the second cap screw
securing the sprocket to the camshaft can be
installed; then install the cap screw (threads coated
with red Loctite #271). Tighten to 11 ft-lb; then bend
the tab to secure the cap screw.
CAUTION
If any of the above factors are not as stated, go back to
step 13 and carefully proceed.
CAUTION
Care must be taken that the tab washer is installed cor-
rectly to cover the alignment hole on the sprocket. If the
alignment pin falls out, severe engine damage will
result.
