Reassembly
Make sure to reinstall the camshaft with the oil pump removed.
CAUTION
If the camshaft is reinstalled with the oil pump attached to it,
it will cause serious damage to the engine.
Place the cylinder block on a base with the flywheel side facing down.
Reinstall the tappets or the HLAs in their original positions in
accordance with the intake and exhaust identification marks. Push
the tappets or the HLAs all the way against the cylinder head so that
they will not obstruct the installation of the camshaft.
With the matching marks of the crankshaft gear and the camshaft
gear aligned, install the camshaft in the crankcase.
NOTE
On the FE290, FE350, and FE400, verify that the tab [B] of the
oil pump is securely fitted into the groove [A] at the end of the
camshaft.
