Install guides and misc. bits

Note: Some of these pictures were taken out of sequence, but you should still get the idea. The procedure is the same and I took a lot of pix at various times. Don't let some of the stuff throw you off though.

Now you install the cam chain guide blades. Start with the front one. Insert it back down into the engine and replace the two torx bit screws holding it in. Be careful not to drop the screws, especially into the breather tube hole. Stuff some rags around so this won't happen. Tighten to 10 Nm.


Now insert the rear cam chain guide blade back and install the little cap nut and washer. This one is a bit funky to get back in, the metal part with the threads needs to go in at an angle and it is pretty slippery. Mine fell down but I just pulled it back out with my magnet tool. A little fidgetting is necessary for this piece. Hold the blade in place with one hand and replace the washer and cap nut with the other. Be sure there is a rag stuffed in the cam tensioner hole at the bottom of the motor so that when you drop the nut and washer a couple times, like I did, it will not end up in the motor. It is a pretty tight fit in there with my fingers, fat fingers will have even harder time. A 4" socket extension helps a lot with this nut. Those rags sure do come in handy eeh? Tighten the cap nut to 10Nm. This also strips easily so be careful with it.



Replace the large nut/bolt to the front of the motor assembly, tighten to 80Nm.
Replace the two oil cooler feed banjos back to the front of the motor. You may need to twist them a little so they line up correctly. Tighten to 30Nm.
Position and tighten the oil feed pipe and low oil pressure switch.
