  1. Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed. Observe the body of the camshaft position actuator for the "IN" marking (3). The marking is for an intake camshaft position actuator.
  2. Ensure the proper timing mark is used. Observe the outer ring of the camshaft position actuator for the circle marking (1). The marking is for alignment to the highlighted timing chain link on the left side of the engine.
  3. Use an open wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft in order to prevent camshaft rotation when tightening the camshaft position actuator bolt.
