Camshaft Installation Note

Caution

••••

Because there is little camshaft thrust clearance, the camshaft must be held horizontally while it is 
installed. Otherwise, excessive force will be applied to the thrust area, causing a burr on the thrust 
receiving area of the cylinder head journal. To avoid this, the following procedure must be 
observed.

1. Assemble camshaft onto the cylinder head, facing 

the cam noses at No.1 and No.3 cylinders as 
shown.

Note

•

Keep the camshaft sliding surface free of 
sealant to prevent engine damage.

2. Apply silicone sealant to the areas shown.

Thickness

1.0 mm {0.04 in}

3. Apply engine oil to the camshaft and the cylinder 

head journals.

4. Install the camshaft caps to the positions from 

which they were removed.
