Once the shaft is out and in your hands, it has to be stripped down. The sprocket to run the timing chain is pressed on the shaft. I had to use a press to remove the sprocket from the old, damaged camshaft and install it on the replacement one. This sprocket was almost new as the owner had replaced the timing chain and sprockets fairly recently. A hydraulic press is needed for this task. As the timing sprocket is pressed on, you have to adjust the endplay. The camshaft needs a small amount of free play (0.1mm) to allow easy rotation in its bearing. This is adjusted with a feeler gauge and going back and forth with the sprocket on the press. Once the sprocket is properly mounted, the camshaft is replaced in the engine block. The bearing carrier is held to the engine block with two bolts.
