NOTICE:
The camshaft journal area is lubricated by oil that has to travel
through the rocker shaft. If the rocker shaft is installed incorrectly,
oil passage s do not line up. This results in insufficient lubrica

and damage to the camshaft journals. Incorrect shaft installation
may also result in the engine brakes not functioning and cause
damage to the rocker arm bushings.
All information subject to change without notice.
