Turn the crankshaft to top center compression stroke for the No. 1 piston. The "C" mark on the crankshaft gear will be aligned with the "C" mark on the camshaft gear.
Illustration 2 g00476743
Note: Put a mark on the teeth of the fuel injection pump drive gear and the idler gear at location (A). This will help to keep the engine timing correct during the removal and the installation of the camshaft. Put a mark on the teeth of the idler gear and camshaft gear (2) at location (B). When the camshaft is installed, the engine timing will be correct when the mark at location (A) is aligned with the mark at location (B) and the "C" mark on the crankshaft gear is aligned with the "C" mark on the camshaft gear.
Remove the bolts, the lock and washer (1) .
