Caution: Wear protective gloves when handling parts
that have been heated to prevent personal injury.
Heat the gear in an oven at 260°C [500°F] for a minimum
of 1 hour.
Remove the gear from the oven.
NOTE: Install the gear on the camshaft within 30 seconds
after it is removed from the oven.
Caution: The timing marks and the part number on the
gear must be facing away from the camshaft when the
gear is installed to prevent engine damage.
Align the gear keyway with the key in the camshaft, and
install the gear.
NOTE: Keep the camshaft in a vertical position with the gear
up until the gear has cooled.
Caution: Do not use water or oil to reduce the cooling
time. The gear can crack. Allow the air to cool the gear.
If the gear does not seat against the locating shoulder on
the camshaft, remove the gear and install it again.
Use a feeler gauge to check the clearance between the
camshaft gear and the shoulder. The clearance must not
exceed 0.13 mm [0.005-inch].
