REMOVAL
NOTE: This procedure requires use of Miller Tool 8502 Tappet Replacement Kit.
1. Remove camshaft See: Camshaft/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Camshaft - Removal .
2. Insert the trough (1) (provided with tool kit) the full length of the camshaft bore. Make sure the cap end goes in first and the open side faces up
(towards tappets).
3. Remove only one tappet at a time. Remove rubber band from one cylinder pair and attach tappet dowel not being removed to the next cylinder
pair.
4. Raise dowel rod (disengage from tappet) and allow tappet to fall into trough.
5. Carefully remove trough (do not rotate) and tappet. If the tappet is not being replaced, mark it so it can be installed in its original location.
