Camshaft Timing
Camshaft Timing Check
Remove the rear camshaft inspection cover from the side of the engine.
Put the No. 1 piston at the Top Center Position on the compression stroke. Refer to Finding The Top Center Compression Position For The No. 1 Cylinder.
With the No. 1 piston on the compression stroke, install the crankshaft timing pin. After you install the crankshaft timing pin, remove the camshaft timing pin from the camshaft timing pin's storage positions.

Installation Of Camshaft Timing Pin (1) Timing Pin (2) Camshaft
Install the camshaft timing pins (1) through the timing pin holes and into the holes in the camshaft (2). In order for the engine to be timed correctly, the camshaft timing pins must fit into the holes in the camshafts.
If both of the timing pins (1) cannot be installed into the holes in the camshaft, the engine is not in time and the camshaft position must be adjusted. Refer to Timing Adjustment Of The Camshaft. Timing Adjustment Of The Camshaft
Note: Before you make any timing adjustments, the timing must be checked in order to determine whether any adjustment is necessary. Refer to the section Camshaft Timing Check for this procedure.If the Camshaft Timing Check procedure indicates that the camshaft is not in time with the crankshaft, the camshaft drive gear must be removed and the camshaft must be rotated. Steps 1 through 8 should be used if adjustment of the camshaft is necessary.
Put the No. 1 cylinder in the Top Center Position of the compression stroke and install the crankshaft timing pin. Remove all of the valve covers.

Loosening Rocker Arm Shafts (Typical Example) (1) Bolts (2) Rocker arm shaft
Loosen bolts (1) that hold rocker arm shafts (2) in place, until all of the rocker arms are free from the valve bridges.

Camshaft Drive Gear (4) Camshaft drive gear (5) Bolts (6) Bolt (7) Washer (8) Plate
Loosen the camshaft drive gears (4) by using the following procedure:
Use a 6V-6080 Torque Multiplier and a 5P-1748 Socket and loosen bolt (6) .
Remove bolt (6) and washer (7). Remove bolts (5) and plate (8) .
Refer to the illustration in Figure 4. Put washer (7) between the camshaft and plate (8). Install bolt (6) finger tight.
Install bolts (5) finger tight.
Sudden movement of camshaft drive gear can occur when the camshaft drive gear is pulled off the taper of the camshaft. To prevent possibly personal injury, be sure that the bolt is installed (finger tight) to restrict the movement of the camshaft drive gear when the camshaft drive gear is pulled off of the taper of the camshaft.
Tighten bolts (5) evenly in order to pull camshaft drive gear (4) off the taper of the camshaft.
Fasten a hoist to the camshaft drive gear (4). Remove the following components: bolts (5), bolt (6), plate (8), washer (7) and drive gear (4). The weight of the camshaft drive
