• | Remove the hood hinge bolts (1). |
• | Raise the hood until vertical. |
• | Install the hood hinge bolts until snug in the service position (2). |
Notice: Do not turn the crankshaft assembly after the timing chain has been removed in order to prevent damage to the piston assemblies or the valves.
Notice: All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.
10.1. | Install 3 M8-1.25 x 100 mm (M8-1.25 x 4.0 in) bolts to the bolt holes in the front of the camshaft. |
10.2. | Using the bolts as a handle, carefully rotate and pull the camshaft out of the engine block. |
10.3. | Remove the 3 bolts from the camshaft. |
Important: If camshaft replacement is required, the valve lifters must also be replaced.
Notice: All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Important: Install the retainer plate with the sealing gasket facing the engine block.
The gasket surface on the engine block should be clean and free of dirt and/or debris.Tighten
