recessed side facing the cam shaft lobes) onto the
camshaft. At this point, do not "seat" the sprocket
onto the shaft.

GZ130
NOTE: At this point, oil the camshaft bearings, cam
lobes, and the three seating journals on the cylinder.
13. With the cam lobes directed down (toward the pis-
ton), maneuver the camshaft/sprocket assembly
through the chain and towards its seating position;
then loop the chain over the sprocket.
NOTE: Note the position of the alignment marks on
the end of the camshaft. They must be parallel to the
valve cover mating surface. If rotating the camshaft is
necessary for alignment, rotate the sprocket inside the
chain until the alignment pin can be engaged in the
sprocket with the camshaft properly aligned to the
head.

14. Seat the cam sprocket onto the camshaft making sure

C. Camshaft alignment marks parallel to the valve
cover mating surface.
D. Recessed side of the sprocket directed toward the
cam lobes.
E. Camshaft alignment pin and sprocket alignment hole
(smallest) are aligned.
CAUTION
If any of the above factors are not as stated, go back to
step 11 and carefully proceed.
