and driven gears.
(c) Place the camshaft on the cylinder head.
(d) Install the 5 bearing caps in their proper locations.
(e) Apply a light coat of engine oil to the threads of the bear-
ing cap bolts.
(f) Using several steps, tighten the 10 bearing cap bolts uni-
formly in the sequence shown in the illustration.
