Align the ‘‘O’’ mark on the camshaft gear with the ‘‘O’’
mark on the crankshaft gear.
After aligning the ‘‘O’’ marks, push the camshaft in the
bore until the thrust washer fits against the cylinder block.
Remove the camshaft installation pilots. Do not allow the
rubber bands to fall into the camshaft cavity of the cyl-
inder block when removing the installation pilots.
Use a dial indicator to check the backlash between the
camshaft gear and the crankshaft gear.
Put the tip of the dial indicator against a tooth on the
camshaft gear.
Turn the camshaft gear by hand as far as it will freely
move, and set the dial indicator at ‘‘0’’ (zero).
