cam question

[Tommyk]

Hi people I took cams out and didn't know one has to have a bolt to keep tension and now top end sounds abit rattly. How do I cure this?

They have to be torqued back down in sequence

Yeah there is a guide somewhere on there. It has to be tightened in a sequence too

[Tommyk]

you nead to tension the intake cam cog then just reinstall it the sound will be gone and 9nm torque on the caps

Yup there is the service bolt that should have been installed so the sub gear is aligned with the adjacent gear on the camshaft sprocket. Your gonna need to find a way so these gears on the sprocket align to let you get the service bolt through. After you have confirmed the valve clearence's, on the final assembly, you install the camshafts with the service bolt still there. After you have torqued the cam caps, you just take the service bolt off to get the gears on camshaft tensioned. Good luck.
