Removal and Installation

CAUTION:
CAUTION:During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan can cause engine failure.
CAUTION:
CAUTION:The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore, the engine must be retimed each time the damper is removed. Otherwise severe engine damage can occur.
  1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section 100-02 Jacking and Lifting.
  1. Remove the camshafts. For additional information, refer to Valve Train Components — Exploded View and Camshafts in this section.
  1. CAUTION:
    CAUTION:If the camshafts and valve tappets are to be reused, mark the location of the valve tappets to make sure they are assembled in their original positions.
    NOTE:
    NOTE:The number on the valve tappets only reflects the digits that follow the decimal. For example, a tappet with the number 0.650 has the thickness of 3.650 mm.
    Remove and inspect the valve tappets. For additional information refer to Section 303-00 Engine System - General Information.
  1. To install, reverse the removal procedure.
    • Coat the valve tappets with clean engine oil prior to installation.
