shaft until Number One cylinder is at top dead
center on Firing Stroke (check with Tool C-
3075).
When in this position, the pointer on
chain case cover should be over ("DC") on
vibration damper. Position oil pump shaft so
that it lines up with slot in drive gear. Coat
shaft of drive gear with engine oil. Install so
that, after gear spirals into place, it will index
with oil pump shaft, and slot in top of drive
gear will be parallel with center line of crank-
shaft (Fig. 36).

INSTALLATION OF DISTRIBUTOR
Hold distributor over mounting pad on cylinder
block with vacuum chamber pointing toward
right hand cylinder bank. Turn rotor until it
points forward and to approximate location of
Number One tower in distributor cap. Turn
rotor counter-clockwise until breaker contacts
are just separating. Place distributor oil seal
ring in position. Lower distributor and engage
shaft in slot of distributor drive shaft gear
while holding rotor in position.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF
CAMSHAFT BEARINGS (Engine
Removed from Car)
a. Removal
With engine completely disassembled, drive out
rear cam bearing Welch plug. Install proper
size adapters and horse shoe washers (part of
Tool C-3132) at back of each bearing shell to
be removed and drive out bearing shells.
b.
Installation
Install new camshaft bearings with Tool C-
3132 by sliding new camshaft bearing shell
over proper size adapter. Position bearing in
tool (Fig. 40). Install horse shoe lock and by
reversing removal procedure* carefully drive
bearing shell into place. Install remaining shells
in like manner. The oil holes in camshaft bear-
ings and cylinder block must be in exact align-
ment to insure proper lubrication. (Fig. 40).
Camshaft bearing index can be checked after
installation by inserting a pencil flashlight in
bearing shell. The complete circumference of
camshaft bearing hole should be visible by look-
ing through main bearing drilled oil passage.
Another oil hole in cam bearings should be
visible by looking down the left bank oil hole
above and between No. 1 and 3 cylinders to

No.
2 cam bearing, and on the right bank above
and between No. 6 and 8 cylinders to No. 4 cam
bearing. If camshaft bearing shell oil holes are
not in exact alignment, remove and reinstall.
Use Tool C-897 to install a new Welch plug at
rear of camshaft. Be sure this plug does not
leak.
28.
CYLINDER BLOCK
Clean cylinder block thoroughly, check all core
hole plugs for evidence of leaking. If new core
hole plugs are installed; coat edges of plug and
core hole with a suitable sealer and drive plugs
in place with driver, Tool C-897. Examine
block for minute cracks or fractures. Remove
top ridge of cylinder bores with a reliable ridge
reamer before removing pistons from cylinder
block. Be sure lo keep tops of pistons covered
during this operation.
NOTE: Pistons and connecting rods must be
removed from the top of cylinder block. When
removing piston and connecting rod assemblies
from engine, rotate crankshaft so each connect-
ing rod is centered in cylinder bore.
Remove connecting rod cap and bearing
shells.
Install Tool C-3221 on one connecting
rod bolt and protector over the other bolts and
push each piston and rod assembly out of cyl-
inder bore. After removal, install bearing cap
to mating rod.
