- Tighten the cylinder head bolts in the proper tightening sequence as shown and torque them in two stages.
3. Install:
- Camshaft sprocket
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise.
b. Align the "I" mark "a" on the generator rotor with the stationary pointer "b" on the generator cover.
c. Align the "I" mark "c" on the camshaft sprocket with the stationary pointer "d" on the cylinder head.
d. Install the timing chain onto the camshaft sprocket, and then install the camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft.
NOTE:
When installing the camshaft sprocket, be sure to keep the timing chain as tight as possible on the exhaust side.
| CAUTION: Do not turn the crankshaft when installing the camshaft(s) to avoid damage or improper valve timing. |
e. While holding the camshaft, temporarily tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt.
