Camshaft Housing Bolt Tightening Sequence
NOTE: Use the reverse of the tightening procedure when loosening camshaft housing to cylinder head retaining bolts.
Camshaft Housing, Cover And Gaskets
17. Cam housing cover to cam housing retaining bolts (82B).
18. Cam housing to cylinder head retaining bolts.
-
Leave two bolts loosely in place to hold the cam housing while separating cam cover from housing.
19. Push the cover off the housing by threading four (4) of the housing to head retaining bolts into the tapped holes in the cam housing cover.
-
Tighten the bolts evenly so the cover does not bind on the dowel pins.
20. Remove the two loosely installed cam housing to head bolts and remove cover, discard gaskets.
21. Notice the position of the chain sprocket dowel pin for reassembly. Remove camshaft being careful not to damage the camshaft or journals.
