It's been a few weeks since I've done any updates on the K341 reassembly. I've accomplished a few things lately, but progress has been hampered by waiting for parts and such.
So we're at
Step 3: Install Tappets & Camshaft
I had marked my tappets for exhaust and intake, but it turns out that they're the same in the K341 anyway. <Edit 10/25/11>
You'll note that in the following posts, it is recommended that you keep these where they came from. In fact, one member says it messed up his engine to have them swapped. So mark your tappets when you remove them on engine breakdown, and put them back where they came from.</edit>
Tappets in place:
The camshaft goes into place, and the shimming washers are placed between the camshaft and the bearing plate side of the engine.
Insert the camshaft pin from the bearing plate side to the PTO side and check your camshaft play with a feeler gauge. Add or remove shims to get it in spec. In my case, I had to order an .010 shim and wait a few days because I had too much play.
Then I drove the pin to the spec for the K341, which was .300 deep (pretty much so it's flush on the PTO side.)
Easy stuff so far...
