1. Set the crankshaft to top dead center (TDC). Align the TDC mark (A) on the crankshaft sprocket with the pointer (B) on the oil pump.
2. Remove the crankshaft sprocket (C).
3. Set the camshaft to TDC. The "UP" mark (A) on the camshaft sprocket should be at the top, and the TDC grooves (B) on the camshaft sprocket should line up with the top edge of the head.
4. Install the cam chain on the crankshaft sprocket with the colored piece (A) aligned with the TDC mark (B) on the crankshaft sprocket, then install the crankshaft sprocket with the key (C) to the crankshaft.
5. Install the cam chain on the camshaft sprocket with the pointers (A) aligned with the three colored pieces (B) as shown.
6. Install the cam chain tensioner (A) and the cam chain guide (B).
7. Install the cam chain tensioner slider (A), and loosely install the bolt (B).
8. Apply new engine oil to the sliding surface of the cam chain tensioner slider (A).
9. Rotate the cam chain tensioner slider clockwise to compress the cam chain tensioner, and install the remaining bolt, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
10. Check the cam chain case oil seal for damage. If the oil seal is damaged, replace the cam chain case oil seal Service and Repair.
11. Remove the all of the old liquid gasket from the cam chain case mating surfaces, the bolts, and the bolt holes.

13. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, 08718-0004, or 08718-0009) to the cylinder head and the engine block mating surfaces of the cam chain case and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:
- Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
- Apply a 3.0 mm (0.118 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (B).
- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
14. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, 08718-0004, or 08718-0009) to the oil pan mating surface of the cam chain case and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:
- Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
- Apply a 5.0 mm (0.197 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket to the shaded area (B).
- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
15. Set the edge of the cam chain case (A) to the edge of the oil pan (B), then install the cam chain case on the engine block (C).
NOTE:
- When installing the cam chain case, do not slide the bottom surface onto the oil pan mounting surface.
- Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
- Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the cam chain case.
16. Tighten the cam chain case mounting bolts. Wipe off the excess liquid gasket from the oil pan and the cam chain case mating area.
17. Install the cylinder head cover Cylinder Head Cover Installation.
18. Install the side engine mount/bracket assembly (A), then tighten the new side engine mount/bracket assembly mounting bolts (B).
