CM870 Front timing structure/Exhaust manifold/Oil Pan

[Signature620]

You'll need a timing pin and wedges, cam gear puller, front crank seal installer, overhead adjustment tools, enough torque wrenches to cover 70inlb up to 110ftlb, Loctite 609 and any good automotive RTV.

When you pull it apart, check whether the injector cam gear retainer is a flat or tapered disc. The tapered ones are prone to breaking and should always be updated if removed.

Treat the oil rifle with the utmost respect, any filings, rocks, dirt, lint, etc that goes in there can ruin your bottom end. I like to blow air around before removing the housing and giving the area around the rifle a quick clean up and tape immediately.

I also like to brush a thin layer of Permatex Aviation Sealant on the gear housing gasket to help it last as long as possible. There are plenty of other options (silicone, antiseize, nothing, etc).
