progressively tighten the camshaft ladder bolts,
approximately half a turn each, until the camshaft
ladder is in full contact with the head.
Camshaft Ladder Tightening Sequence
11. In the same sequence, torque each camshaft ladder
bolt to 10 Nm.
12. Fit the camshaft drive chain top pad. Tighten the top
pad fixings to 10 Nm.
13. Ease the camshaft drive chain away from the
camshafts. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise (as
viewed from the front), until No. 1 cylinder is at
TDC. No. 1 cylinder is at TDC when a 'dot' mark on
the crank primary gear is in alignment with the line
in the upper crankcase.
1. Upper crankcase line
2. Crankshaft primary gear 'dot' mark
Note:
• After placing each camshaft in the timing
position, it will be necessary to have an
assistant hold the camshafts in position until
tool T3880202 is fitted.
• Set the exhaust camshaft first, then the inlet.
14. Ease the camshaft drive chain away from the
sprockets and position the camshafts so that the
timing marks align as shown below. Allow the
camshaft drive chain to drop back onto each
sprocket after positioning each camshaft.
1. Inlet timing mark
2. Exhaust timing mark
15. Fit tool T3880202 to location holes in the camshaft
sprockets as shown in the diagram below. This will
hold the camshafts in the correct timing position and
prevent them from turning while the chain tensioner
is fitted.
