9 Remove the cradle tool and the camshaft guide.
10 Fit new ‘O’ ring seals to the camshaft front seal plate. Apply a small amount of engine lubricating oil to the
‘O’ ring seal on the outside of the plate. Fit the seal plate with the face seal against the cylinder head. Insert
the adapter plate and fit the thrust plate. Apply thread lock compound, 21820 117, to the three bolts, fit the
bolts and tighten.
Note: Camshaft timing is very important. During installation of the camshaft assembly, ensure that the timing
marks on the camshaft gear and the gear case cover are aligned when number one cylinder is at top centre
(TDC).
11 Fit the guide stud, GE50019, to the camshaft.
12 Fit the camshaft gear; align the hole in the gear with the dowel pin on the adapter plate. If the timing mark
on gear does not align with the pointer at the top of the gear case, remove the gear and rotate the camshaft
until the gear can be installed with the marks aligned.
13 Fit the bolts which retain the gear, remove the guide stud and fit the bolt which remains. Tighten the bolts
to a torque of 240 +/- 40 Nm (177 +/- 30 lbf ft).
14 Fit the camshaft timing sensor to its location behind the top of the gear case and connect the lead.
15 Fit the gear case cover, Operation 6-1.
