Refitting The Camshafts - Ducati Monster 796 Workshop Manual

Cylinder head assemblies: camshafts
Fit new oil seals at each engine overhaul.
Insert the new oil seals squarely in their bores. Use suitable drifts.
Lubricate the lip of oil seals after assembly. This operation must be performed very carefully.

Refitting the camshafts

If removed, install the sealing ring (3) in its seat on the cylinder head right-hand side, using a suitable tool.
Important
If the valve rocker arms are already installed in the cylinder head (Sect. 9 - 4.4, Refitting of the rocker arms, shims and
valves.), turn the camshaft (16), through a series of rotations, so that the cams do not foul the rocker arms.
Before fitting the camshaft, check the mark: "V" means vertical, "O" means horizontal.
Apply graphite oil to the seats of the camshaft so that it is lubricated also during the initial revs of the engine.
Insert the camshaft (16) from the left-hand side of the cylinder head.
