| Before pushing the camshaft gear onto the cam, I took a rubber mallet and punch and gently tapped the hole in the top of the camshaft guide towards the drivers side. Then I pushed the camshaft gear on, and gently tapped it back. This is to take up the tension in the drivers side part of the chain, because that side is supposed to be tight while the passenger side is slack. Do not move the camshaft guide much at all. I only tapped it very gently, maybe moving it 1/8th of an inch. This pic shows me tapping it back. I don't know that I did this part right, but I think I did. |

| After getting the camshaft gear on, put on the distributor gear lightly to keep the camshaft gear from falling off. You'll need to remove it to reinstall the hidden bolt later though. | ||||||||||||||||

| After getting the lower and upper gears on and getting the chain on properly I installed the driver and passenger side chain guides. | ||||||||||||||||
| To get the tensioner on, I used electrical tape to compress it before I installed it. Once it was bolted down I removed the tape. | ||||||||||||||||
| This is where I hit my first major snag. While tightening the bolts on the tensioner, I felt the top bolt pop. I nearly shit myself, because if that hold stripped out or the bolt head had twisted off it wasn't in a very good position to work on it. I was even more pissed because I was actually using a torque wrench when it happened. Fortunately the bolt had just stretched. It threaded back out and I used another bolt that was the same from another part of this install to put the tensioner back in properly. I then replaced the bolt I took with one I went and bought at Orchard. Below is the stretched bolt, along with what it normally looks like. |
