Illustration 2 g00912883 - Install Tooling (B) onto flywheel housing (2). Attach a suitable lifting device to Tooling (B). The weight of flywheel housing (2) is approximately
251 kg (553 lb) . - Lift flywheel housing (2) into position onto Tooling (D).
Note: For the correct positions of the bolts, see Illustration 3 or Illustration 4.
- Install the bolts and the hard washers that secure flywheel housing (2) to the cylinder block. Remove Tooling (D) and install the remaining bolts and the remaining hard washers.

135 ± 20 N·m (100 ± 15 lb ft) . Tighten the 5/8 - NC bolts to a torque of270 ± 40 N·m (200 ± 30 lb ft) . The torque for plugs (3) is70 ± 15 N·m (50 ± 11 lb ft) . - Install the crankshaft rear seal and the wear sleeve. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Crankshaft Rear Seal and Wear Sleeve - Install".
- Place the camshaft timing pins in position. Place the timing bolt in the flywheel with the No. 1 piston at the top center position on the compression stroke.

Illustration 5 g01226902 - Use the following procedure in order to install camshaft drive gears (1).
- Clean the taper of the camshaft and the tapered bore of the camshaft gear with a lint free cloth saturated with solvent to remove oil. Clean the parts again with a lint free alcohol wipe in order to remove any residue. The alcohol wipe will dirty after cleaning the parts. Clean the parts again with a lint free alcohol wipe until no residue is left on the alcohol wipe.
Note: The taper of the camshaft and the tapered bore of the camshaft gear must be clean, dry, and free of residue before assembly.
- Ensure that the camshaft timing pins and the timing pin for the flywheel are installed.
- Place camshaft drive gears (1) in position. Remove the backlash by rotating the gears in the opposite direction of camshaft rotation.
Note: For "Standard Rotation" engines, turn the camshaft drive gears COUNTERCLOCKWISE. For "Reverse Rotation" engines, turn the camshaft drive gears CLOCKWISE.
- Install the bolt and the plate for the camshafts.
- Install the bolt and the timing ring for the camshafts. Ensure that the hole in the timing ring is properly seated on the locating pin.
- Tighten the bolts to a torque of
360 N·m (265 lb ft) . - Place a Mark on the bolts.
- Place a driver against the retaining plate of the camshaft gear. Strike the driver solidly with a hammer 3 to 4 times.
- Tighten the bolts again to a torque of
360 N·m (265 lb ft) . - Repeat Steps 10.h and 10.i until the Mark has turned at least 90 degrees.
- Clean the taper of the camshaft and the tapered bore of the camshaft gear with a lint free cloth saturated with solvent to remove oil. Clean the parts again with a lint free alcohol wipe in order to remove any residue. The alcohol wipe will dirty after cleaning the parts. Clean the parts again with a lint free alcohol wipe until no residue is left on the alcohol wipe.
- Remove the timing pins from the camshafts and the flywheel.
- Install the gaskets and camshaft covers.
Note: Refer to Engine News, 27, March 2006, "Sealing and Installing the Flywheel Housing" for more information.
