marks are correctly positioned.

Installing the camshaft gear
1.

Fit the camshaft gear (2) onto the camshaft.

2.

Fit the camshaft gear wheel attachment bolt 

(11). Tighten the attachment bolt to the 

specified torque. See "Technical data". 

3.

Install the idler gear (3).

4.

Fit the attachment bolt and axial thrust 

washer (9) of the idler gear and tighten the 

attachment bolt to the specified torque. See 

"Technical data".
