3. Install camshafts. Ensure the timing marks
(Figure 5-103, (1)) on the gears align as
shown.
When the timing marks are aligned, the lobes
(Figure 5-103, (2)) for cylinder No. 1 will face the
exhaust side of the engine.
Note: The valves will hold the camshafts above
the bearing seats until all bolts are
tightened.
