Default CAMSHAFT INSTALLATION 99 s70 glt

Just reinstalled head (did a valve job). Now I am trying to install the camshafts (no I did not mark anything when I removed them). Please give me some help on how to do this?

Thanks for any help.

You might want to check the 850 Stickies.

Thanks for the info! Below is copied from that sticky....

Remember, the groove on the intake camshaft is ABOVE the seam of the head, while the groove on the exhaust camshaft is BELOW the seam of the head. This picture was turned around 180 degrees since I was holding it upside down when it was taken.....ok THE ABOVE IS FOR THE 850.

Is this correct for my S70 GLT?

Your motor is a 2.4 I believe. Those motors are very similar and the design is probably the same. The tough thing here is that you didn't mark and double mark things before you took them apart. You're going to take a risk putting them together correct or maybe 180 degrees off. The good thing is that you can turn the motor by hand two times before you try to start it. Use that as your safety net.
