NOTICE
This notice applies to export engines. The intake and exhaust camshaft gears changed on
March 23, 2016, along with idler gear No. 3 and idler gear No. 5. The main difference is a
change to the pressure angle of the gear teeth. The intake camshaft tone wheel also
changed to a more robust design to reduce camshaft position fault codes. The easiest
way to identify an engine with the new camshafts and idler gears is by inspecting the
intake camshaft tone wheel. The new tone wheel has individual fingers. The early tone
wheel is more of a plate style with cutouts.

The intake and exhaust camshaft gears changed on March 23, 2016, along with idler gear No. 3 and idler gear No. 5. The
main difference is a change to the pressure angle of the gear teeth. The intake camshaft tone wheel also changed to a more
robust design to reduce camshaft position fault codes. The easiest way to identify an engine with the new camshafts and idler
gears is by inspecting the intake camshaft tone wheel. The new tone wheel has individual fingers. The early tone wheel is
more of a plate style with cutouts. See illustrations below.

5 EPA07 10 GHG14 Engine Manual (DDC-SVC-MAN-0081)
A new camshaft timing tool (W470589062300) has been developed for use with the new camshafts and idler gears. If the
earlier camshaft timing tools are used, the exhaust camshaft will show to be approximately one-half of a tooth out of time
when the engine is positioned at No. 1 Top-Dead-Center (TDC) on the compression stroke. The intake camshaft will show to
be very close to being in time. See illustrations below.
37
EPA07 10 GHG14 Engine Manual (DDC-SVC-MAN-0081) 5
It should be noted the two illustrations above show a new camshaft engine that is in time at No. 1 TDC on the compression
stroke. The early tools can be re-marked for the new camshafts if the new tool is not available.
The front timing tool (fork) will no longer be required for timing purposes and will not be included with the new timing tool set
(W470589062300).
7. Carefully install the exhaust (1) and intake (3) camshaft assemblies into the camshaft housing.
8. Align the marked gear teeth with the marks on the timing tool.
9. Verify that the marks on the gear teeth match the marks on the timing tool.

11. Install the 28 bolts securing the camshaft caps to the camshaft housing and the cylinder head; hand-tighten
the bolts.
12. Using the torque sequence shown below, torque the twenty-one large M10 camshaft cap bolts to the
following:
• Torque bolts to 20 N·m (15 lb·ft).
• Then torque bolts to 50 to 55 N·m (37 to 40 lb·ft).

NOTICE
When installing the engine brake solenoids, do not use the mounting bolt to pull the
solenoid into the camshaft cap. Damage will occur to the O-rings on the solenoid.
14. Replace the O-rings on the engine brake solenoids prior to reinstallation and lubricate with clean engine oil.

NOTICE
Failure to remove the engine barring tool prior to starting the engine will cause damage to
the tool or the flywheel.
18. Remove the engine barring tool from the bottom of the flywheel housing. Reinstall the cover plate and
tighten the bolts.
19. Install the intake and exhaust rocker shaft assemblies. Refer to section "Installation of the Intake Rocker
Shaft Assembly and Refer to section "Installation of the Exhaust Rocker Shaft Assembly". Follow those
procedures to completion.

Install as follows:
NOTICE
The camshaft journal area is lubricated by oil that has to travel through the rocker shaft. If
the rocker shaft is installed incorrectly, oil passages will not line up. This results in
insufficient lubrication and will damage the camshaft journals. Incorrect shaft installation
can also result in the engine brakes not functioning which will cause damage to the rocker
arm bushings.
NOTICE
The marking grooves (1) on the rocker shafts must face the REAR of the engine for proper
lubrication and engine brake operation.
