On the intake, or “E” side, insert the dowel pin through the alignment
bridge and into the hole in the camshaft. Move the camshaft back and
forth as necessary using a 24mm wrench in order to align the pin. Once
the pin is fully inserted, rotate the cam as required until the camshaft
bridge sits flat against the cylinder head.
SECTION 5A: REASSEMBLY
Make sure the engine is still at TDC and the crankshaft pulley is locked in
position with the crankshaft locking pin. View pages 18 through 22 for
reference.
NOTE
Place the camshaft alignment bridge onto the cylinder head between
cylinders 2 and 3. Note the two holes in the bridge that correspond with a
hole in each of the intake and exhaust camshafts.
Our Schwaben camshaft bridge, as well as many others, is
marked with the letter “E” for the intake side and “A” for the
exhaust side, abbreviating the German words. Make sure it
is installed properly.
