Camshaft, Rocker Arm Assembly, Camshaft Seal, and Pulley Installation

Front

1. Loosen the valve adjusting screws.
2. Apply a light coat of new engine oil around the camshaft oil seal.
3. Gently tap the new camshaft oil seal (A) into the cylinder head.





4. Insert the camshaft (B) into the cylinder head, then install the camshaft thrust cover (C). Always use a new O-ring (D). Apply new engine oil to the camshaft journals and lobes.
5. Check that the oil seal lips are not distorted.
6. If the rocker arm assembly is disassembled, reassemble the rocker arm assembly.
7. Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the rocker shaft holder and the cylinder head.
8. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the rocker shaft holder mating surface of the cylinder head. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.





9. Set the rocker arm assembly in place, and loosely install the bolts. Make sure that the rocker arms are properly positioned on the valve stems.

NOTE:
^ Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
^ Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the rocker arm assembly.

10. Tighten each bolt two turns at a time in the sequence shown to ensure that the rockers do not bind on the valves.





11. Install the injector base (A). Always use a new gasket (B).





12. Apply new engine oil to the threads of the camshaft pulley mounting bolt (A). Install the back cover (B), then install the camshaft pulley (C).





13. Set the camshaft pulleys to top dead center (TDC) before bolting them onto the engine block.
