J 33049 Camshaft Bearing Service Kit

Important: Always install the camshaft outer bearings #1 and #5 first. The camshaft outer bearings serve as a guide for the J 33049 and help center the camshaft inner bearings during the installation process.

1. Assemble the J 33049 handle (10), the expanding driver (4-8), the washer (2 or 3), and the expander assembly (15).




Caution: Wear safety glasses in order to avoid eye damage.

Important: The camshaft bearing lubrication holes must align with the oil gallery holes in the engine block.

After installation of the camshaft bearings, always inspect the camshaft bearing lubrication holes for proper alignment with the oil gallery holes.
An improperly aligned camshaft bearing lubrication hole and oil gallery hole will restrict oil flow to the camshaft bearing and the camshaft journal.
