Reinstall just as you took it all apart. Cylinder head then TORQUE HEAD BOLTS.

Now use a little oil, grease or assembly lube on parts as you assemble them.

Follow the service manual and find top dead center (TDC) before you put the camshaft back in. TDC then put the cams back on the head (cam marks in position) and the cam chain. Just get it as close as possible then put the bearing retainer pieces in and install the cam caps snug to hold down the cams so you can check that the cam marks are lined up and you have the correct amount of chain pins in between the cam sprockets. Reading the service manual you will see there are 28 pins to count between the left and right cam timing marks.

Next insert the cam chain tensioner just as the manual describes. Then spin the engine a couple times by hand and re-check your marks at TDC. THEN you can go ahead and torque down everything.
