The document outlines the procedure for installing the camshaft on an engine, including lubricating parts, using tools to aid installation, and ensuring proper rotation and play after installation.

The steps include lubricating the camshaft, using a tool to aid installation, carefully working the camshaft through the bushings while rotating it, checking for free rotation, and aligning timing marks.

Precautions include verifying the tappets are fully inserted, not forcing the camshaft, and ensuring it rotates freely to avoid damage.

Install
Rear Gear Train

Use a gear puller, service


tool Part Number ST647 or
equivalent, to attach to the
end of the camshaft where
the camshaft gear mounts,
to act as a handle. This will
give proper leverage and
ease installing the
camshaft.

CAUTION

Before the camshaft is


installed, verify the tappets
are fully inserted into the
tappet bores. If the tappets
are not fully inserted, the
camshaft and/or tappets
may be damaged during
installation.

NOTE: The following


illustrations will show the
engine in the upright
position for clarity.

CAUTION

Do not force the camshaft


into the camshaft bore as
damage to the camshaft
bushing can result.

Install the camshaft. While


pushing in slightly, rotate the
camshaft and carefully work
the camshaft through the
camshaft bushings. As each
camshaft journal passes

through a bushing, the


camshaft will drop slightly and
the camshaft lobes will catch
on the bushings. Rotating the
camshaft will free the lobe
from the bushing and allow
the camshaft to be installed.

Install the thrust plate.

Apply assembly lubricant,


Part Number 3163087, to
the front camshaft bore.

3163087.

CAUTION

Before the camshaft is


installed, verify the tappets
are fully inserted into the
tappet bores. If the tappets
are not fully inserted, the
camshaft and/or tappets
may be damaged during
installation.

NOTE: The following


illustrations will show the
engine in the upright
position for clarity.

CAUTION

Do not try to force the


camshaft into the camshaft
bore as damage to the
camshaft bushing can
result.

the camshaft through the


camshaft bushings. As each
camshaft journal passes
through a bushing, the
camshaft will drop slightly and
the camshaft lobes will catch
on the bushings. Rotating the
camshaft will free the lobe
from the bushing and allow
the camshaft to be installed.

CAUTION

To reduce the possibility of


engine damage, make sure
the camshaft rotates freely.

Before the camshaft gear


engages the crankshaft gear,
check the camshaft for ease
of rotation. When installed
properly, the camshaft must
rotate freely.

Align the timing marks as


illustrated and finish
installing the camshaft.

Install the thrust plate.
