straight up.)
Caution: Install the thrust caps (RH: 4, 8 marks, LH: A, E marks) first. Otherwise, the camshaft can be broken or damaged.

the cylinder heads.
Caution: Excessive silicone sealant will get into the cylinder head and cause piston seizure.
4. Apply silicone sealant to the shaded areas as shown.
