1. Install:
• Exhaust camshaft “1”
• Intake camshaft “2”
▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼▼
a. Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a
wrench.
TIP
• Apply molybdenum disulfide oil to the cam-
shafts.
• Apply the engine oil on the decompression
system.
b. Align the top dead center (TDC) mark “a” on
the rotor with the alignment mark “b” on the
crankcase cover.c. Fit the timing chain “3” onto both camshaft
sprockets and install the camshafts on the
cylinder head.
TIP
Make sure that the alignment mark “c” on the
exhaust camshaft sprocket and the alignment
mark “d” on the intake camshaft sprocket are
aligned with the edge of the cylinder head.
ECA
NOTICE
Do not turn the crankshaft during the cam-
shaft installation. Damage or improper
valve timing will result.
d. Install the clips, the camshaft caps and the
bolts (camshaft cap).
TIP
• Before installing the clips, cover the cylinder
head with a clean cloth to prevent the clips
from coming off into the cylinder head cavity.
• Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in two
or three steps in the proper tightening se-
quence as shown.
ECA
NOTICE
The bolts (camshaft cap) must be tightened
evenly, or damage to the cylinder head,
camshaft caps, and camshaft will result.

ECA
NOTICE
This model uses titanium intake and ex-
haust valves.
Do not use the valves used for lapping the
valve seat. Always replace the valves used
for lapping with new ones.
TIP
• When replacing the cylinder head, replace
also the valves with new ones without them.
• When replacing the valves or the valve
guides, use new valves to lap the valve seats,
and then replace them with new valves.
