Special Black Camshaft Bearing Cap Bolts Must Be Installed On Spark Plug Side Of Cap
Caution: The black camshaft bearing cap bolts are drilled to provide oil passages to the hydraulic cam followers and must always be installed on the
spark plug side of the cap.
Note: Bearing caps marked with numbers 1 through 5 are used on the intake camshaft and 6 through 10 are used on the exhaust camshaft.
Make sure all of the timing chain slack is on the tensioner side of the chain and install the chain tensioner. Turn the engine over several revolutions in the
direction of normal rotation and bring back to TDC. Double check all timing marks. It necessary, remove the tensioner and reposition the chain on the
sprockets. Install the valve cover using new gaskets and sealer. Install the distributor and ignition wires.
Caution: Correct camshaft timing is critical. If the timing chain is off by as little as two teeth on the sprocket, the pistons can contact the valves. Always
check and recheck camshaft timing by turning the engine over by hand.
