MOLYBDENUM OIL SOLUTION
NOTE:
Before installing the camshaft, check that the tappets are
installed correctly.
Pull the cam chain lightly.
The exhaust camshaft sprocket has an arrow marked “1” C.
Turn the exhaust camshaft so that the arrow is aligned with
the gasket surface of the cylinder head.
Engage the cam chain with the exhaust camshaft sprocket.
Bind the cam chain and sprocket with a proper clamp 1 to
prevent the cam chain disengagement while installing the
camshaft journal holders.
The other arrow marked “2” D should now be pointing straight
up. Starting from the roller pin that is directly above the arrow
marked “2” D, count out 12 roller pins (from the exhaust cam-
shaft side going towards the intake camshaft side).
Engage the 12th roller pin E on the cam chain with the arrow
marked “3” on the intake sprocket.
Bind the cam chain and sprocket with a proper clamp 2 to
prevent the cam chain disengagement while installing the
camshaft journal holders.
NOTE:
The cam chain should now be on all three sprockets. Be careful
not to move the crankshaft until the camshaft journal holders
and cam chain tension adjuster are secured.
