chain case assembly.

CAUTION

The timing chain may snag on other parts. After removing
the camshaft and camshaft sprocket assembly, never
rotate the crankshaft.
4. After removing the camshaft and camshaft sprocket

assembly (exhaust side), hang up the timing chain with a
rope to prevent the timing chain from falling into the timing
chain case assembly.

avoid damage to the O-ring.
Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the oil feeder control valve and
install the oil feeder control valve to the cylinder head.

.

>>B<< CAMSHAFT/CAMSHAFT SPROCKET
INSTALLATION

1. Use a monkey wrench to secure the flats of the camshaft in

the same manner as removal.

2. Apply an adequate and minimum amount of engine oil to the

camshaft and camshaft sprocket as shown in the figure.

3. Install the camshaft sprocket to the camshaft.
4. Apply an adequate and minimum amount of engine oil to the

camshaft sprocket bolt.

BEARING INSTALLATION

1. Install the camshaft bearing caps to the cylinder head.

NOTE: Because the camshaft bearing thrust cap and cam-
shaft bearing cap are the same in shape, check the bearing
cap number and additionally its symbol to identify the intake
and exhaust sides for correct installation.

2. Tighten each camshaft bearing cap mounting bolt to the

specified torque in the order of number shown in the figure
in two or three steps.

Tightening torque: 12
