6. Mount the Camshaft Sprocket. Loop the chain over the camshaft sprocket. Align the

camshaft and crankshaft timing marks and loop the chain around the crankshaft sprocket.

Lift the camshaft sprocket into place on the camshaft, with the Hex-A-Just

Bushing in

place. Be sure that the timing mark aligns with the crankshaft timing mark. Start the

camshaft bolts to hold the cam sprocket in place, but leave the bolts slightly loose.

7. Adjust the Camshaft Timing. Do NOT try to turn the camshaft with the bushing unless

there is NO LOAD on the camshaft. There must be NO VALVE SPRING PRESSURE

against the camshaft or the Hex-A-Just

bushing will SPLIT. Make sure that the three

camshaft bolts are LOOSE. For a simple installation, adjust the Hex-A-Just

bushing to

the desired timing setting (Figure 2). For a more accurate installation, use a degree

wheel. The degree wheel method is strongly

recommended.

8. Torque Loose Bolts. Torque the three (3) Cam

Sprocket mounting bolts to 300 in-lb (25 ft-lb).

9. Lubricate the Timing Set. Make sure that the

engine oil has a clear path to the timing set through

the lifter valley oil drain-back holes, or through

some other means. A timing set requires plenty of oil to survive. Before installing the

timing cover gasket and timing cover, pour plenty of assembly lube over the sprockets

and bearings. Assembly lube will stay on the sprockets until the engine is started.

10. Install the Oil Pump Driver. Using a sleeve, Carefully press the oil pump driver onto the

nose of the crankshaft until the driver is in hard contact with the crankshaft sprocket.

11. Timing Cover and Gasket. Install the timing cover gasket using a small amount of

gasket sealer if desired. Mount the timing cover and install the mounting bolts. Torque

these bolts as specified by the manufacturer.
