Install New Cam Bearings
NOTICE
To center thrust washer, be sure O-ring is installed in relief groove. Damage to bearing cage and engine can occur if thrust washer is not centered. (00473d)
NOTE
If not enough of the splined shaft is exposed to install the sprocket, leave out the spacer and proceed to Step 1e. Once the bearing inner race has been started onto the machined area, remove the flange screw, washer, and sprocket, then assemble using the spacer. Repeat Step 1e to fully install bearing inner race.
1. See Figure 1. Install rear cam roller bearing kit ( Figure 10 , item 8) onto rear camshaft.
a. Install O-ring in grinding relief groove. Groove is on the splined end between the machined area and the secondary cam sprocket. Exercise caution to avoid stretching or breaking the O-ring. Since the O-ring is not sold separately, damage will require purchase of new roller bearing kit.
b. Slide thrust washer down rear camshaft until centered over O-ring in grinding relief position.
c. Slide bearing inner race down rear camshaft until contact is made with shoulder of machined area.
d. Install primary cam sprocket spacer and sprocket on camshaft, and secure using thicker flat washer and long flange screw.
e. See Figure 2. Wrap a shop rag (1) around camshaft to get a firm grip and also to protect hand from sharp edges of sprocket. Using a 9/16 in. box wrench (2), turn flange screw in a clockwise direction. Bearing inner race (3) is fully installed when it makes firm contact with the thrust washer (4).
f. Verify thrust washer is locked in place and cannot be rotated. If necessary, install shaft in vise using brass jaw inserts, and further tighten flange screw until desired result is achieved.
g. Remove flange screw, flat washer, sprocket, and spacer.
NOTE
Be aware that the front and rear cam bearings are not interchangeable. The rear cam utilizes a roller bearing while the front cam utilizes a ball bearing (See Figure 3 ).
Bearing fit may be a light press or slightly loose fit. If deemed necessary, clean bearing O.D. and apply Loctite 243 (blue) before installation, but exercise caution to avoid getting compound on rollers or bearing I.D.

2. Install new cam bearings into cam support plate according to the following:
a. See Figure 4. Obtain the Camshaft Remover/Installer (HD-43644).
b. With the secondary cam chain side facing upward, place cam support plate on support block, so that outer races of bearings are properly supported. Note that one corner of the support block is contoured to accommodate the chain guide blocks cast into the front of the support plate.
c. Center new bearing over bearing bore with the lettered side up. Slide pilot shaft of bearing driver through bearing into hole of support block.
d. See Figure 5. Center bearing driver under ram of arbor press. Press on driver until bearing makes firm contact with counterbore in cam support plate. Repeat Steps 2a through 2c to install second bearing.

Install Camshafts
1. Start camshafts into cam bearings.
2. Place cam support plate back on support block, if removed. The block properly supports inner races of bearings as camshafts are installed.
3. See Figure 6. Align punch marks on teeth of secondary cam sprockets (outboard faces). Using a colored marker, carefully mark the punch mark locations on the inboard side of the sprocket teeth. These marks are needed to observe proper orientation of the camshafts when they are pressed into the bearings.

2Front camshaft
3Rear camshaft
Figure 6. Align Punch Marks on Teeth of Camshaft Sprockets
4. Place secondary cam chain around the sprockets of both the front and rear camshafts. To maintain the original direction of rotation, be sure that the colored mark placed on the chain link during disassembly is facing opposite the cam support plate during installation.
5. Orient the camshafts so that they are positioned on opposite ends of the chain, and then verify that the colored marks placed on the inboard side of the sprocket teeth are still in alignment.
6. Maintaining the position of the camshafts on the chain with the colored marks in alignment, place the sprocket ends of the camshafts into the bearings.
NOTE
Be sure not to mix camshafts during the press procedure. The rear camshaft, which can be identified by the splined shaft, must go into the roller bearing at the rear of the cam support plate.
7. Place cup of camshaft driver over end of front camshaft only.
NOTICE
During press procedure, keep tensioner shoe clear of chain to prevent damage to tensioner assembly. (00474b)
8. Center end of front camshaft under ram and slowly apply pressure to driver just to start front camshaft into bearing I.D.
NOTICE
Be sure rear camshaft is aligned during press procedure. Misalignment can cause inner race to catch on bearing rollers resulting in bearing damage. (00475b)
9. Slowly apply pressure to driver on front camshaft, while wiggling rear camshaft as necessary to guide inner race between bearing rollers.
10. When inner race on rear cam is started into roller bearing, apply pressure to driver until front camshaft is fully seated. If necessary, keep finger pressure at top of rear camshaft to ensure that assembly remains square and inner race moves to installed position in roller bearing.
11. After installing new cams, check for proper cam to cam timing using straightedge along punch marks as described in Service Manual.
12. Install retaining ring from kit in groove at end of front camshaft.
NOTE
Inspect cam needle bearings in crankcase and replace if necessary.
