The camshaft covers serve a vital role in
keeping the engine’s moving parts sealed
when in use, and are reproduced in your
model down to the smallest detail, such
as the silver bolts tted in this stage.

Pick up the rst bolt A with the angled
tweezers, the jaws wrapped with some
masking tape or even double-sided tape for a
safer hold. Make sure the longer side of the
part, with the mounting pin (inset photo), is
facing outwards from the tweezers.

Place the bolt A into the indicated hole in the
camshaft cover TL, making sure that you have
the part orientated as shown in the inset
photo in Step 5.

When all the bolts A are in place, reseal both
camshaft covers with the gasket strips that
you removed in Step 4. Note the orientation of
the parts, as shown above – the circled hollow
mounting pins should t neatly into the
gaskets’ holes without needing to be forced.
Repeat Steps 5-8 to t all 16 bolts A into the
holes on the TL and TR camshaft covers,
circled in blue above. Leave the holes circled
in red empty for now.
Use a rm but not hard object to push the
bolt rmly into its hole (the end of a wooden
pencil would be suitable – do not use hard
plastic or metal for this).

Press the bolt further into the hole with
your nger or thumb, but be careful not to
scrape any of the silver paint from the part.
