CAMSHAFT SPROCKETS
The fixed position of each camshaft sprocket is determined by
arrow mark "3" for the intake camshaft, and by arrow marks "1"
and "2" for the exhaust camshaft, as located in reference to the
notch 1 on the right end of each camshaft.
Inspect the teeth of each camshaft sprocket for wear or damage.
If they are worn or damaged, replace the sprockets and cam chain
as a set.
• Apply THREAD LOCK SUPER "1303" to the threads of the cam-
shaft sprocket bolts and then tighten them to the specified
torque.

the ratchet mechanism is worn or damaged, replace the cam chain
tensioner with a new one.
