Align the T mark on the flywheel with the index mark on the alternator cover by turning the flywheel counterclockwise

Apply molybdenum disulfide grease to the camshaft journals

Install the cam sprocket with its punch mark facing up and install the cam shaft and end cap

position the cam lobes down and align the timing marks on the cam sprocket with the cyclinder head upper surface

install the cam chain over the cam sprocket and the cam sprocket onto the shoulder of the camshaft

Tighten the cam sprocket bolts, do the punch mark side first since it is the dowel hole.

Realign the T mark with the index mark and recheck the cam sprocket timing marks.

Fill the oil pocket in the cyclinder head with oil.

Thats strait from the Honda shop manual. Torque on the cam sprocket bolts is 12-17 Ft-lb.

Looks like he covered it perty good to me. Pratice, i can now do a new piston in one night (about 4 or 5 hours). Its actualy perty easy, just rember IF YOU HAVE A DOUBT ON SOMETHING ASK. Nothing is worse than tearing it appart again over sotmhing stupid.
