Check and Adjust Camshaft Timing

Check Camshaft Timing
1. Remove cylinder head cover. See Remove and
Install Cylinder Head Cover on page 5-17.
2. Rotate the crankshaft in the normal running
direction until No. 1 cylinder is at TDC of the
power stroke. The front lobe of each camshaft
(Figure 5-73, (1)) will be facing the exhaust
side.

3. Verify position by checking that the camshaft
timing marks on gears are aligned
(Figure 5-73, (2)). The single mark on intake
camshaft gear must fall between the two marks
on the exhaust camshaft gear.
4. Secure crankshaft in TDC position with flywheel
holding tool OEM No. 11 5 180 (Figure 5-74).
NOTICE: NEVER rotate the crankshaft
backward. If the crankshaft is turned past TDC,
rotate two more turns (720°) to bring No. 1
piston back to TDC.

(Figure 5-75, (3)) on each side of the cylinder
head. If it does not, the timing must be adjusted.
