Install plate (13) on the dowel pins on the cylinder block. Install new locking bolts (14) (Marked "X") in order to fasten the plate to the cylinder block. Tighten the locking bolts to a torque of 55 N m (41 lb ft).Note: Apply Tooling (B) to the bolts.
Install stub shaft (12). Apply Tooling (B) to the studs and the bolt for stub shaft (12). Tighten nuts (11) and the bolt to a torque of 55 10 N m (41 7 lb ft).
Install stub shaft (10). Do not tighten the nuts and bolt (9) for the stub shaft at this time. The nuts and the bolt for stub shaft (10) will need to be tightened when the backlash is adjusted.Note: If the stub shaft has been removed, loosened, or moved in any way, the backlash for the camshaft gear and the adjustable idler gear will need to be readjusted. The camshaft gear must be installed and the adjustable idler gear must be removed in order to perform the backlash adjustment procedure.
Install stub shaft (7). Apply Tooling (B) to bolts (8). Tighten bolts (8) to a torque of 55 10 N m (41 7 lb ft) in the following sequence: (1, 3, 4, 5, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1).

Position idler gear (5) on the stub shaft. Apply Tooling (B) to bolts (6). Install bolts (6) .Note: Skip Step 10 if the stub shaft has been removed, loosened, or moved in any way. The backlash for the camshaft gear and the adjustable idler gear will need to be readjusted. The camshaft gear must be installed and the adjustable idler gear must be removed in order to perform the backlash adjustment procedure. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear Group (Front) - Time".
Position adjustable idler gear (3) on the stub shaft. Apply Tooling (B) to bolts (4). Install bolts (4) .
Adjust the backlash for the camshaft gear and the adjustable idler gear, if necessary. Refer to Testing and Adjusting, "Gear Group (Front) - Time".Note: The camshaft gear must be installed and the adjustable idler gear must be removed in order to perform the backlash adjustment procedure.End By: Install the front housing. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Housing (Front) - Install".
