13. With the alignment pin installed in the camshaft,
loosely place the cam sprocket (with the recessed
side facing the cam shaft lobes) onto the camshaft.
At this point, do not “seat” the sprocket onto the
shaft.
732-307B
NOTE: At this point, oil the camshaft journals,
cam lobes, and the three seating surfaces on the
cylinder.
14. With the cam lobes directed down (toward the pis-
ton), maneuver the camshaft/sprocket assembly
through the chain and towards its seating position;
then loop the chain over the sprocket.
NOTE: Note the position of the alignment marks
on the end of the camshaft. They must be parallel
with the valve cover mating surface. If rotating the
camshaft is necessary for alignment, rotate the
sprocket inside the chain until the alignment pin
can be engaged in the sprocket with the camshaft
properly aligned to the head.

15. Seat the cam sprocket onto the camshaft making sure
the alignment pin in the camshaft aligns with the
smallest hole in the sprocket; then place the cam-
shaft/sprocket assembly onto the cylinder ensuring
the following.
CF013A
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.
CAUTION
If any of the above factors are not as stated, go back to
step 11 and carefully proceed.
