Thank you for choosing COMP Cams® products; we are proud to be your manufacturer of choice. Please read this instruction sheet carefully before beginning installation, and also take a moment to review the included limited warranty information.

Note: The installation procedures which follow assume that the engine has been disassembled and cleaned as it would be for a normal timing set change.

1. Torque Wrench

2. Degree Wheel (optional, but recommended)

3. Depth Micrometer or Good Steel Scale

4. Assembly Lube or Camshaft Lube

5. Thread Locking Compound (Loctite® #271 or equiv.)

Tools and supplies needed:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Prepare the Engine. Loosen all rocker arms so that the camshaft can rotate freely.

2. Clean Everything! Make sure that the engine mounting surfaces and timing set components are as clean as possible. The life of the chain and sprockets depend on it.

3. Install the Dowel Pin. Remove the old dowel pin by clamping the pin in a vise and carefully prying the camshaft away. Trial fit the new dowel pin in the camshaft, making sure that it is fully seated in the camshaft. The pin should protrude 9/16” to 19/32” from cam nose. If the pin is too long, grind it until the length is correct. Remove the pin and apply the thread locking compound to the end of the pin. Press the dowel pin back into place, making sure that it is fully seated in the camshaft.

4. Align the Engine. Rotate the crankshaft until the number one piston is at top dead center. The crankshaft key should be pointing up to the right. Rotate the camshaft until the dowel pin is pointing straight up.

5. Assemble the Timing Set. Select the appropriate keyway and timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket for the camshaft timing baseline desired. We recommend the Standard Timing position, which uses the round timing mark and round keyway. Loop the chain over the camshaft sprocket. Align the camshaft and crankshaft timing marks and loop the chain around the crankshaft sprocket. Lift the sprocket and chain assembly into place on the camshaft and crankshaft. Slide the crankshaft sprocket onto the crankshaft while sliding the camshaft sprocket onto the camshaft. Make sure that the sprockets are fully seated on their shafts.

6. Install the Fuel Pump Eccentric. Install the eccentric onto the camshaft sprocket making sure that the dowel pins fully engage the proper holes in the eccentric. Be sure that the dowel pin installed

earlier does not protrude through the eccentric, or the offset washer will not seat properly. Install the old bolt and the offset washer (included) and thread it all the way in, but leave it slightly loose. The Adjustable Fuel Pump Eccentric is infinitely adjustable so you can fine adjust your engine’s CAMSHAFT TIMING to EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT.

7. Adjust the Camshaft Timing. Do NOT try to turn the camshaft with the eccentric unless there is NO LOAD on the camshaft. There must be NO VALVE SPRING PRESSURE against the camshaft or the bushing will SPLIT. Make sure that the three camshaft bolts are LOOSE. For a simple installation, adjust the eccentric to the desired timing setting. For a more accurate installation, use a degree wheel. The degree wheel method is strongly recommended.

8. Torque Loose Bolts. Remove the cam gear mounting bolt, one at a time, and apply the Thread Locking Compound, then torque each bolt to 300in-lb (25 ft-lb).

9. Lubricate the Timing Set. Make sure that the engine oil has a clear path to the timing set through the lifter valley oil drain-back holes, or through some other means. A timing set requires plenty of oil to survive. Before installing the timing cover gasket and timing cover, pour plenty of assembly lube over the sprockets and bearings.

10. Install the Timing Cover and Gasket. Install the timing cover gasket using a small amount of gasket sealer if desired. Mount the timing cover and install the mounting bolts. Torque these bolts as specified by the manufacturer.
