Apply molybdenum disulfide oil solution to all cam parts
and journals.
If a new camshaft is to be used, apply a thin coat of molyb-
denum disulfide grease to the cam surfaces.
NOTE
The exhaust camshaft has a 1001 EX mark [A] and the
inlet camshaft has a 1001 IN mark [B]. Be careful not to
mix up these shafts.
Using a wrench on the starter clutch bolt [A], turn the
crankshaft clockwise until the line [B] (TDC mark for #1,4
pistons) on the starter clutch is aligned with the notch [C]
in the edge of the timing inspection hole [D] in the starter
clutch cover.
CAUTION
The crankshaft may be turned while the camshafts
are removed. Always pull the chain taut while turn-
ing the crankshaft. This avoids kinking the chain
on the lower (crankshaft) sprocket. A kinked chain
could damage both the chain and the sprocket.
If the starter clutch cover is removed, perform the next
procedure.
Using a wrench on the starter clutch bolt [A], turn the
crankshaft clockwise until the line [B] (TDC mark for #1,4
