5. Install gearcase cover over all gears and onto right
crankcase half (10). Secure cover to crankcase half with
11 socket head screws. Tighten screws evenly to
80-110 in-lbs (9-12 Nm). Use torque sequence shown in
Figure 3-70.
6. See Figure 3-71. Check cam gear end play for each cam
gear as follows:
a. Turn engine over until lobe of cam gear being
checked is pointing toward its respective lifter guide
hole.
b. Gently pry the cam gear toward the gearcase cover
using a flat blade screwdriver.
c. Measure gap between bushing (in crankcase half)
and cam gear shaft thrust face (shoulder) using a
feeler gauge. This is cam gear end play.
d. Compare cam gear end play measurements with
the SERVICE WEAR LIMITS. Make repairs as
required if end play does not meet specifications.
7. Install hydraulic lifters and push rods. See 3.15
HYDRAULIC LIFTERS.
8. Install cam position sensor and rotor in gearcase cover.
See 4.30 CAM POSITION SENSOR AND ROTOR.
