Tools Required

J 44212 Camshaft Holding Tool




1. Install the right secondary camshaft drive chain guide.




2. Loosely install the lower right secondary camshaft drive chain guide bolt.




3. Install the right secondary camshaft drive chain shoe.





Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice.

4. Install the right secondary camshaft drive chain shoe bolt.

Tighten the right secondary camshaft drive chain shoe bolt to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).




5. Install the right secondary camshaft drive chain by sliding the chain down through the right cylinder head and placing the chain on the end of the camshafts.
6. Route the right secondary camshaft drive chain around the outer row of the intermediate drive chain sprocket teeth.




7. Install the right intake and exhaust camshaft sprockets into the right secondary camshaft drive chain.




8. Install the right intake and exhaust camshafts sprockets onto the camshafts. The camshaft sprocket notch marked "RI" which indicates right intake, engages the intake camshaft pin and the camshaft sprocket notch marked "RE" which indicates right exhaust, engages the exhaust camshaft pin.




9. If necessary, use an open wrench on the hex cast near the front of each camshaft to help align the sprocket notch to the camshaft pin.
10. Loosely install the right intake and exhaust camshaft sprocket bolts.




11. Ensure the perpendicular alignment of the right intake and exhaust camshaft sprocket notches and camshaft pins to the cylinder head.




12. Install the J 44212 to the right cylinder head camshafts.




13. Install the upper right secondary camshaft drive chain guide bolt.

Tighten BOTH the upper and lower right secondary camshaft drive chain guide bolts to 25 N.m (18 lb ft).
