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.
• Apply the engine oil to the threads and con-
tact surfaces.
• Tighten the bolts to the specified torque in two
or three steps in the proper tightening se-
quence as shown.
