Cam installation

Well guys, I have a 79 that I am pulling the head off to inspect for bent valves and then reassemble. I see that my service manual is dated Aug 78...so section 6-22 last paragraph.

" Turn the crankshaft clockwise 360 until the "T" mark is aligned with the crankcase mating surface. Make sure the cam lobes for the #6 cylinder are toward the outside"

Is this correct? I would really hate to get the cams in wrong.

Mike

That should be the correct wording in this paragraph.
Check the bottom of the page. It should say Date of issue: August, 1978. The original version, as shown on bottom of page 6-23 says Date of Issue: March 1978.

Mucho Gracias.

Looks like the whole cam install is on the back burner, #1 rod is 10-7..bent like a dogs hind leg.
