Do not turn the crankshaft or the camshaft while the camshaft gear is removed. If the front gear group is not correctly timed during installation, interference can occur between the pistons and the valves, resulting in damage to the engine. |
- Position the No. 1 piston at the top center of the compression stroke. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Finding Top Center Position for No. 1 Piston".
- Verify the timing mark on camshaft gear (1) is aligned with Timing Mark (X) on front housing (3).
- Remove bolts (2) and remove camshaft gear (1).

- Install camshaft gear (1) in the reverse order of the removal.
- Tighten the bolts (2) to a torque of
240 ± 40 N·m (177 ± 30 lb ft) . Tighten using the above illustrated sequence. Tighten the bolts illustrated as 1 and 2 an extra240 ± 40 N·m (177 ± 30 lb ft) .

- Check the backlash between the camshaft gear and the adjustable idler gear. The backlash should be
0.356 ± 0.254 mm (0.014 ± 0.010 inch) . Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear Group (Front) - Time" for the backlash adjustment procedure.
