Installation Instructions

9-3146A Hex-A-Just® True Roller Timing Set


BEFORE YOU BEGIN: READ ALL OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST !!!


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.


YOU WILL NEED:

TOOLS:

1/4" Hex Bit Socket or Hex Wrench

Torque Wrench

Hammer

Sleeve to fit over crankshaft for installing Crankshaft Sprocket
Degree Wheel (Optional, but Recommended)

SUPPLIES:

Assembly Lube or Camshaft Lube
Cloyes Cam Button (Part Number 9-200 or 9-202) (Optional, but Recommended).

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 bearings depends on it.


3.

Mount the Crankshaft Sprocket. Select the appropriate keyway for the camshaft timing
baseline desired. We recommend the Standard Timing position, which used the round
timing mark and round keyway mark. Carefully tap the sprocket onto the crankshaft using a
sleeve to protect the sprocket. Make sure that the sprocket is fully seated on the
crankshaft. Rotate the crankshaft until the appropriate crankshaft sprocket timing mark is in
the 12:00 position. Make sure that the number one piston is at top dead center.


4.

Insert the Hex-A-Just® Timing Bushing. Insert the
offset bushing (with the Hex hole) into the slot in the
camshaft sprocket hub. Rotate it with a 1/4" Hex
Wrench so that the timing mark on the bushing points
away from the center of the hub (Figure 1). The

Hex-

A-Just® Adjustable Timing Bushing is infinitely
adjustable so you can fine adjust your engine's
CAMSHAFT TIMING to EXACTLY WHERE YOU
WANT IT

.


5.

Install the Camshaft Thrust Bearing. Install the Thrust Needle Bearing on the back side
of the camshaft gear

with the black side of the bearing facing gear hub, so the silver
