bearing No.1 has some holes. Other 
bearings.
 
3) Install intake camshaft (1) and exhaust camshaft (2). Align knock pin (3) and match mark (4) with notches 
(5) as shown in figure.
NOTE
Before installing camshafts, turn crankshaft 
until key position faces upward.
Refer to “Timing Chain and Chain Tensioner 
Removal and Installation”.
 
4) Apply engine oil to sliding surface of each camshaft  and camshaft journal then install them as shown in 
figure.
