6 .  Install the special tool to the slot in the camshaft, the base of the special tool must remain in contact with the cylinder 
head. If the special tool can be passed from one side of the cylinder head to the other without resistance then the 
camshaft is correctly timed. Repeat the procedure on the other camshaft. If both camshafts are found to be correct, then 
no further action is required.
