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.

2. Remove the camshafts.
3. 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.
