2. Install the three 5/16-18 x 4.0 inch bolts into the engine camshaft front bolt holes.
3. Use the bolts as a handle in order to install the engine camshaft.

NOTICE: All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.

^ Tighten the camshaft retainer bolts to 12 Nm (106 inch lbs.).
