INSTALLATION

CAUTION: The Syncro Positioning Tool must be obtained prior to installation of the replacement camshaft synchronizer assembly. Failure to follow this procedure will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.

Install the Syncro Positioning Tool on the camshaft synchronizer.
Rotate the Syncro Positioning Tool until it engages the notch in the camshaft synchronizer housing.
Install the camshaft synchronizer housing assembly as shown.
NOTE: Rotate crankshaft to #1 cylinder TDC on compression stroke.

Install the camshaft synchronizer housing assembly so the arrow on the Syncro Positioning Tool is 54 degrees from the centerline of the engine.
NOTE: During installation, the arrow on the synchronizer alignment tool will rotate clockwise as the gears engage.

Install the bolt.
