Here's a little more detail about the cam gear service bolt:
The exhaust side cam has a two part gear. A main gear and a sub gear separated by a spring and held together with a wave washer. I assume this is to provide a slight thrust against the intake gear and #1 bearing cap.
The service bolt is just a 6mm bolt (10mm head)placed through the sub gear into the main gear to compress the spring and hold the two gears together in proper position during the removal process.
This little bolt remains in the cam gears until the camshaft is returned to the freshened head. Then it needs to be removed. It is one of those little things that could be easy to overlook.
