 .
After installing the camshafts, the engine must not be started for 
approx. 30 minutes. The hydraulic valve lifters have to settle 
(otherwise valves will strike the pistons). After installing the valvetrain and lifters, carefully rotate the 
crankshaft by hand at least 2 full revolutions before starting to be 
sure that valves do not strike the pistons.
