- Apply clean engine oil or engine oil supplement to the following components:
- Install the three 5/16-18 x 4.0 in. bolts into the engine camshaft front bolt holes.
- Use the bolts as a handle in order to install the engine camshaft.

- Install the camshaft retainer and bolts.
| • | The engine camshaft lobes |
| • | The camshaft bearing journals |
| • | The camshaft bearings |
Notice: All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the camshaft retainer bolts to 12 N·m (106 lb in).
