There are 12 steps on *how to install correctly camshaft*... Prepare a clean work area and assemble the tools needed for the camshaft installation. Once the camshaft, lifters, and timing chain are exposed, line up the timing marks on the timing gears by rotating the crankshaft Once the camshaft is removed, pull the bottom timing gear off of the crankshaft snout. Now is the time to inspect all of the old camshaft related components (timing chain set, distributor gear, etc.) for abnormal or excessive wear. Remove your new COMP Cams® camshaft from its packaging. Inspect all lobes and the distributor gear, making sure the camshaft was not damaged in shipment. Once the cam is in, remove the cam sprocket. If the engine is equipped with a camshaft retaining plate, it should be installed at this time. Install the new crankshaft sprocket on the snout of the crank. Reinstall the cam sprocket temporarily. Check the timing mark alignment in your engine manual. Rotate the crankshaft to its proper position. Remove lifters from the packaging and clean the lifters thoroughly in mineral spirits or an equivalent solvent. Clean all pushrods thoroughly because most engines oil through the center of them. If the original pushrods are being used, be especially sure they come clean inside and out. Install rocker arms. It is very important to “fire” the engine as quickly as possible. The only lubrication that the camshaft and lifters receive is from oil slung off of the crankshaft.
