Table 2 Tools Used in Procedures
Install as follows:
1. Verify that the crankshaft is at top dead center (TDC) on cylinder number one using TDC
Locating Pin, installed in crankshaft position sensor (CKP) hole located in the flywheel housing.

2. Install Camshaft Timing Tool to the rear of the camshaft housing. Tighten the two bolts.
3. Locate the etched triangle on the camshaft gear teeth and mark the teeth with a paint pen.
4. Lubricate the lower camshaft bearing surfaces and camshaft journals before installing the
camshafts. Install the exhaust and intake camshaft gear assemblies into the camshaft housing.
5. Align the marked gear teeth with the marks on the timing tool.

6. Install Camshaft Timing Tool to the front of the camshaft housing and into the grooves cut into
the camshafts. Secure timing tool to the camshaft housing with a bolt.
[a] At this point the front timing tool should slide into the camshaft grooves easily with no
drag.
[b] If there is excessive drag when installing the tool, the camshafts are out of time. If so,
repeat this procedure at Step 3.
 7. Verify that the marks on the gear teeth match the marks on the timing tool.
NOTICE
The camshaft caps are numbered and need to be installed
correctly.

8. Install the seven camshaft caps onto intake and exhaust camshafts.
9. The first and seventh camshaft caps hold the engine brake solenoids to camshaft cap. Replace
the O-rings on the solenoids prior to reinstallation. Install the engine brake solenoids.

NOTE:
There are 30 bolts retaining the DD13 camshaft assemblies (shown); 14 120 mm (M10) bolts, seven
108 mm (M10) bolts and nine 63 mm (M8) bolts. The DD15 and DD16 uses 28 bolts, with two
external bolts at the rear of the camshaft housing.

10. Install the 30 bolts to camshaft caps; finger tighten the bolts. Refer to figure for proper bolt
placement.
11. Using the torque sequence shown below, torque the M10 camshaft cap bolts to the following:
□ 20 N·m (15 lb·ft)
□ Then torque to 50-55 N·m (37-40 lb·ft).

12. Using the torque sequence shown below, torque the nine 63 mm M8 bolts to 30 N·m (22 lb·ft).

13. Remove TDC Locating Pin from CKP sensor hole in the flywheel housing.
14. Install crankshaft position sensor. Refer to section .
15. Install a dial indicator onto gear case and zero out the dial indicator.
16. Position the stem of dial indicator to rest between the teeth on the camshaft gear.
17. Hold the number five idler gear with a screwdriver. Check the lash between the camshaft gear
and idler gear number five.
18. The dial indicator should read 0.051 - 0.257 mm (0.002 - 0.010 in.). If the gear lash is excessive
between either camshaft gear and the number five idler gear, inspect the number five idler gear
spindle, camshaft gear and camshaft housing. Repair as necessary.
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 do not line up. This results in insufficient lubrication
and damage to the camshaft journals. Incorrect shaft installation
may also result in the engine brakes not functioning and cause
damage to the rocker arm bushings.
 NOTICE:
The markings on the front of the rockers shafts must face the
front of the engine for proper rocker arm lubrication and engine
brake operation.

NOTICE:
Ensure when tightening the rocker shaft bolts that the bolts are
drawn down from the inside bolts outward, in 1/2 turn increments,
before final torque. If the rocker shaft bolt is fully torqued without
using the increment procedure, the rocker shaft can break.

NOTE:
On EPA10 engines the intake and exhaust rocker shafts are marked "TOP FRONT" and “TOP
REAR.” Top front must face towards the front of the engine.

19. Remove timing tools.

20. Using the Intake Rocker Arm Lifter / Spacer Intake, install the intake rocker shaft assembly to
the camshaft cap and secure with seven clamping blocks and bolts.

21. Using the torque sequence shown below, torque the bolts to 50-55 N·m (36-41 lb·ft) +90°.
22. Using the Exhaust Rocker Arm Lifter / Spacer tool, install the exhaust rocker shaft assembly to
the camshaft cap and secure with seven clamping blocks and bolts.

23. Using the torque sequence shown below, torque the bolts to 50-55 N·m (36-41 lb·ft) +90°.

24. Remove timing tools.

25. Install the fuel injectors, if removed. Refer to section .
26. Lash the valves and engine brakes. Refer to section .
27. Install the fuel injector wiring harness. Refer to section .
28. Install the rocker cover. Refer to section .
29. Reconnect the battery power to the engine. Refer to OEM procedures.
30. Install air cleaner housing. Refer to OEM procedures.
31. Install the turbocharger inlet pipe and hose, and air cleaner. Refer to OEM procedures.
32. Prime lubrication system. Refer to section .
