2. Check the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). The "UP" mark (A) on the camshaft sprocket should be at the top, and the TDC grooves (B) on the camshaft sprocket should aline up with the top edge of the cylinder head.
NOTE:

If the marks are not aligned, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees, and recheck the camshaft pulley mark.
If the marks still do not align, remove the cam chain and reinstall the cam chain properly .
