CAM SHAFT INSTALLATION- Standard and Easy Start
1- Install key into camshaft (S&S® recommends the center cam first—but you can start with any cam). Install the cams and sprockets in the
following order: Intake, front exhaust, rear exhaust.
Note: The X-Wedge® engine uses three different camshafts, one intake and two exhaust. The intake cam has two lobes and is located in the center. The
exhaust cams contain the compression release features. The front exhaust cam has the lobe located closest to the cam plate (outward). The rear exhaust
cam has the lobe located the furthest from the cam plate (inward).
2- Slide camshaft through the bearing and seal carefully to prevent damage to the seal.
3- Align and install sprocket onto camshaft. Make sure timing marks on sprockets are facing outwards.
4- Apply Loctite® 242 (blue) to the threads of the camshaft nut.
5- Hold back side of the camshaft with a 11/8-inch wrench letting the wrench rest against the bench surface.
6- Install the camshaft nut and torque clockwise to 60 ft-lbs.
7- Verify the camshafts rotate freely and add a coat of assembly lube to all cam surfaces.
8- Install new camchest gasket.
