STEP 1
CHECK FOR COVER TO BLOCK INTERFERENCE AND
CORRECT IF PRESENT BY MODIFYING THE BLOCK.
CHECK FOR WATER PUMP AND BALANCER
CLEARANCE AS WELL.
IF YOUR BLOCK HAS BEEN LINE BORED, YOU
MAY ENCOUNTER A MISALIGNMENT BETWEEN
THE CRANK SEAL AND CRANK SNOUT. WE
RECOMMEND ENLARGING THE DOWEL PIN HOLES
IN THE COVER AND LOOSELY INSTALLING THE
COVER BOLTS BEFORE DRIVING ON THE LOWER
PULLEY. THIS PROCEDURE WILL INSURE THAT THE
CRANK SEAL IS CENTERED AROUND THE CRANK
SNOUT.
STEP 2
SECURE THE BELT DRIVE COVER TO THE BLOCK
USING AN OEM TYPE GASKET AND/OR A THIN
LAYER OF RTV SEALER. TORQUE THE COVER
BOLTS TO 12 FT / LBS.

AND SPANNER WRENCH.
STEP 3
APPLY A THIN LAYER OF RTV SEALER TO THE
RECESSED AREA ON THE CAM ADAPTOR.
WITH YOUR CAMSHAFT ON A WORKBENCH,
LUBRICATE AND INSTALL THE REAR THRUST
WASHER ON THE CAM SNOUT. APPLY SEALANT
TO THE THREADS OF THE CAM ADAPTOR BOLTS
AND BOLT THE ADAPTOR TO THE CAMSHAFT.
USING SPANNER WRENCH SUPPLIED, TORQUE
CAM ADAPTOR BOLTS TO 28-30 FT/LBS.

THRUST WASHER (2.950” OD X 2.260” ID X .031”)
AND INSTALL OVER THE NOSE OF THE CAM
ADAPTOR.
CHECK FOR CAMSHAFT END PLAY BY INSTALLING
ALL 3 THRUST SHIMS. JESEL INCLUDES (1) .010”,
(1) .015” AND (1) .020” THICK THRUST SHIM WITH
THIS KIT.
KEEP SHIMS DRY. DO NOT OIL OR USE ANY TYPE
OF SEALANT ON SHIMS
CAREFULLY INSTALL THRUST PLATE MAKING SURE
NOT TO DAMAGE CAMSHAFT SEAL ON ADAPTOR
KEYWAY. KEEP ALL SEAL AREAS DRY.
STEP 6
ADJUST CAMSHAFT ENDPLAY BY SETTING A DIAL
INDICATOR ON THE FACE OF THE CAM ADAPTOR.
ADJUST THE SHIMS UNTIL THE CAMSHAFT ENDPLAY IS BETWEEN .005” AND .010”.
REMOVE THRUST PLATE AND SHIMS. APPLY
A LIGHT FILM OF RTV SEALANT B E T W E E N

STEP 7
LUBRICATE THE CRANK SNOUT WITH A HIGH
