Engine Assembly (0-02) Section 0 - Engine Disassembly and Assembly - Group 00 M11 Page 0-104 Use a leather hammer to install the camshaft gear key. NOTE: Gear housing clearance makes key installation more difficult. Use care when installing the key. Use master camshaft gear, Part No. 3824652, for check- ing the static injection timing again. This is a slip fit gear which can be installed without heating the gear and re- moved without the camshaft gear puller. Install the gear onto the camshaft. Caution: Failure to check the engine timing can cause severe engine damage. Check the engine timing again. When the correct static timing value is reached, remove the master camshaft gear.
It can be necessary to remove the camshaft rear cover plate and apply pressure to the end of the camshaft to hold it in the forward position while the camshaft gear is being installed.
