200 ENGINE ASSEMBLY

Installation

Refer to Figure 6-6.

Each camshaft bushing is located at set distances from the thrust washer mounting surface to the forward edge of the bushings.

Correct installation of each camshaft bushing is very important. If a bushing is not properly aligned with both its oil supply and oil feed passages in the cylinder block, either the camshaft bushing will fail or the components lubricated by the bushing feed will fail from inadequate lubrication.

200 Engine Assembly

Refer to Figure 6-8.

1.Position a replacement bushing (2) against the side of the block at the No. 7 (rear) bushing bore. Align the oil hole in the bushing (1) with the oil passage (7) in the block.

2.Using a dark-colored felt-tip marker, mark the block and the bushing with a line (5) to facilitate correct alignment at installation.

3.Clean the surfaces of the bushing and the bore. Dry both surfaces with compressed air.

4.Using bushing remover/installer J 21428-01 kit (4) and the appropriate pilot adapter J 37713 (3), install the bushing.

Refer to Fits and Limits chart for correct bushing ID dimensions.

Refer to Figure 6-9.

6.Using an inside micrometer or telescope gauge, measure the ID of the bushing to ensure against an undersize bushing. An undersize bushing may cause the camshaft to seize in the bushing during installation.

7.Repeat steps 1 through 6 for all of the remaining bushings in sequence.

5.Check the surface of the bushing for burrs caused by installation.
