    24. Important: Ensure that the high pressure fuel pump roller lifter is oriented properly, the camshaft is at base circle and the number 1 piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the exhaust stroke. The distance from the mounting flange surface to the camshaft at base circle should be 52 mm (2.05 in).

  24. Lubricate the high pressure fuel pump roller lifter with 5W30 engine oil and install into the cylinder head bore.
