Note: Note the removal sequence 1-4.

9. Remove the 4 camshaft bearing support bolts.
10. Release the bearing support by striking it gently with a plastic hammer.
11. Remove the 1st camshaft bearing support (1).




Note: Mark the exhaust camshaft bearing caps before removal.

12. Loosen the 8 exhaust camshaft bearing cap bolts, working from outside to inside in a spiral in steps of 1/2 up to 1 turn.
13. Remove the 8 exhaust camshaft bearing cap bolts.
14. Remove the 4 exhaust camshaft bearing caps Numbers 6-9 from the cylinder head.
15. Remove the exhaust camshaft (1).

Note: Mark the inlet camshaft bearing caps before removal.

16. Loosen the 8 inlet camshaft bearing cap bolts, working from outside to inside in a spiral in steps of 1/2 up to 1 turn.
17. Remove the 8 inlet camshaft bearing cap bolts.
18. Remove the 4 inlet camshaft bearing caps Numbers 2-5 from the cylinder head.
19. Remove the inlet camshaft (1).



20. Using the EN-845 device (1), remove the 16 valve tappets.



21. Example for determine valve tappet size.

21.1.

Measurement of the cup tappet installed 3.12 mm (0.123 in), identification number 12.

21.2.

Measured value between cams and cup tappets +0.31 mm (0.012 in) = 3.43 mm (0.135 in).

21.3.

Required value, intake valve clearance - 0.25 mm (0.010 in).

Note: The identification number, arrow, is on the inside of the valve tappet.

21.4.

Measurement of the new cup tappet = 3.18 mm (0.125 in), identification number 18.

21.5.
