2 Inspect the back of each sprocket for the following:
• Sprocket damage (1),
• Camshaft locating pin damage (2) and,
• Camshaft seating/sealing inner hub flange
damage (3),
NOTE
These checks apply to both the inlet and
exhaust camshaft sprockets.

Reinstall
Reinstallation of the camshaft sprocke ts is the reverse of the removal procedure, noting the following:
1 Align the sprockets and timing chain with the marks made during removal.
2 Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts to the correct torque specification.
Camshaft sprocket attaching
bolt torque specificat ion .......................... 49.0 – 67.0 Nm
3 Remove the timing chain retention tools.

3 Position the camshafts (1) on the cylinder head and assemble the camshaft spro ckets to the camshafts.
NOTE
Install the camshaft sprocket bolts but do not
tighten at this stage.
Figure 6A1 – 346
4 Ensure the camshaft lobes are in the neutral position with the flats on the back of the camshafts up and
parallel (1) with the right-hand cylinder head camshaft
cover rail.
5 Ensure the marks on the right-hand exhaust camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.
6 Ensure the marks on the right-hand intake camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.

4 Ensure the camshaft lobes are in the neutral position
with the flats on the back of the camshafts up and
parallel (1) with the left-hand cylinder head camshaft
cover rail.
5 Ensure the marks on the left-hand exhaust camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.
6 Ensure the marks on the left-hand intake camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the
disassemble operation are aligned.

7 Observe the markings on the left-hand cylinder head camshaft bearing caps. Each bearing cap is
marked (1) to identify its location. The markings have
the following meanings:
• The raised feature must always be oriented
toward the centre of the cylinder head.
• The I indicates the intake camshaft.
• The E indicates the exhaust camshaft.
• The number 2, 4, 6 indicates the cylinder
position from the fr ont of the engine.
8 Apply a liberal amount of engine oil to the camshaft bearing caps.
Figure 6A1 – 355
9 Install the camshaft bearing thrust cap (1) in the first journal of the left-hand cylinder head.
10 Install the remaining bearing caps (2) with their orientation mark toward t he centre of the cylinder
head.
11 Hand start all the camshaft bearing cap bolts (3).
