Installation notes
During assembly: ensure that the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets are correctly aligned (small 'O' marks must face each other). Incorrect timing leads to poor engine running or engine damage. Check chain tension after assembly.
Compatibility
ONLY for L-134 engines with chain-driven camshaft. NOT compatible with later engines with gear drive. Early WWII production used chain, later production (from approximately 1945-46) switched to gears. Check your engine before ordering.
Historical context
The early L-134 'Go Devil' engines used a chain drive for the camshaft, as described in the original technical manuals for the 1/4-ton 4x4 truck. Later in production, the system switched to a more robust gear drive.
