Camshaft Cover Installation






1. Install NEW camshaft cover grommets and camshaft cover bolts if they are serviced with the grommets.
2. Assemble the camshaft cover and gasket. Ensure that the gasket is located in the retaining groove in the camshaft cover.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
