Removal
CAUTION: Since the engine is not free-wheeling, if the crankshaft or the camshafts are moved in any manner during removal and installation the
crankshaft and camshafts must be re-synchronized. These steps are located in Engine; Service and Repair; Assembly Steps 35 to 48.
1. Remove the engine front cover.
2. Remove the crankshaft sensor ring from the crankshaft.
3. CAUTION: Unless otherwise instructed, at no time when the timing chains are removed and the cylinder heads are installed is the crankshaft or
camshaft to be rotated. Severe piston and valve damage will occur.
