Camshaft assembly note

Caution:
^ Because there is little camshaft thrust clearance, the camshaft must be held horizontally while it is installed. Otherwise, excessive force will be applied to the thrust area, causing burr on the thrust receiving area of the cylinder head journal. To avoid this, the following procedure must be observed.





^ Assemble the camshaft onto the cylinder head, facing the cam noses at No.1 and No.3 cylinders.
