Part #184 
Revised 2/3/09 
6. Adjust the camshaft timing. Do NOT try to turn the 
camshaft with the bushing unless there is NO LOAD on the 
camshaft. There must be NO VALVE SPRING 
PRESSURE against the camshaft or the adjustable bushing 
will  SPLIT. Make sure that the three camshaft bolts are 
LOOSE. For a simple installation, adjust the adjustable 
bushing to the desired timing setting. For a more accurate 
installation, use a degree wheel. The degree wheel method 
is strongly recommended. 
7. Torque loose bolts. Torque the three (3) cam sprocket 
mounting bolts one at a time, and apply the THREAD LOCKING COMPOUND, then torque each 
bolt to 300 in lbs (25 ft lbs). 
8. Lubricate the timing set. Make sure that the engine oil has a clear path to the timing set through 
the lifter valley oil drain-back holes or through some other means. A timing set requires plenty of oil to 
survive. Before installing the timing cover gasket and timing cover, pour plenty of assembly lube over 
the sprockets and bearings. Assembly lube will stay on the sprockets until the engine is started. 
9. Install timing cover and gasket. Install the timing cover gasket using a small amount of gasket 
sealer if desired. Mount the timing cover, and install the 10 mounting bolts. Torque these bolts to 160 
in lbs (13 ft lbs).
