When installing the cam housing gasket, be certain the oil feed hole of the gasket (arrow) is correctly positioned over the oil check valve bore. In some instances the words "open-top" may not be on the correct side of the gasket. This could lead to improper installation resulting in lack of lubrication to the camshaft and related parts. If the "open-top" indication is found to be incorrect, turn the gasket over to correctly align the oil bore. Either side of the gasket can mate with the cylinder head or cam housing.
