The following instructions begin after the timing cover and old timing set have been removed. Installing the timing set and degreeing the camshaft will be easier if you loosen the rocker arms so that the camshaft can turn freely. You should be able to turn the camshaft by hand. Make sure that the engine mounting surfaces and your new timing set has been thoroughly cleaned with a good solvent.

Before installing the timing cover and gasket pour plenty of Pro Cam Lube (Part #150 or #154) over the entire timing set. The proper lube will protect your timing set during final assembly and start up. Step 3 – Final Assembly Install your timing cover, harmonic balancer, and torque your balancer bolt. If your engine uses a press on balancer use our balancer installation tool (Part #4920) to install the balancer bolt. Never strike your balancer with a hammer.
