Drive gear must align with shaft key.
c. Align keyway (4) in ID of pinion gear with shaft key.

3. See Figure 3-103. Liberally apply engine oil to bushings,
shafts, and gears. Install all cam gears into bushings of
right crankcase half, properly aligning timing marks of
cam gears and pinion gear.
NOTE
Because of the larger diameter additional gear (which
meshes with the pinion gear) on the outboard end of the cam,
the exhaust cam gear must be installed before the intake cam
gear is installed.
4. See Figure 3-103. Install a new seal and new dry gear
cover gasket on crankcase.
