from the top of the engine mounting brackets
(see illustrations).
29 Drain the engine oil, retaining it for further
use only if it is not contaminated or due for
renewal.
30 Unbolt the coolant distribution pipe bracket
from the timing cover (see illustration).
31 Disconnect the leads and remove the
starter motor.
32 Ensure that the front roadwheels and the
steering wheels are in the straight-ahead
position, then remove the pinch-bolt from the
steering shaft coupling and slide the coupling
down the shaft (see illustration).
33 Unscrew the sump retaining nuts and
bolts. The rear bolts can only be unscrewed
using a box spanner or thin-walled socket.
34 Release the brake hydraulic lines from
their support brackets by pulling out their
retaining clips.
35 Unscrew the two bolts from each of the
crossmember side brackets. Lower the
crossmember just enough to be able to
remove the sump. In practice, as the car is
standing on its roadwheels, the car body
should be raised by placing two axle stands
under the front jacking points (see
illustration).
36 Extract the nine bolts and remove the
timing cover complete with water pump (see
illustration). Removal of the radiator grille will
provide better access to the cover bolts.
37 Check that the crankshaft and camshaft
sprocket timing marks are aligned at the
nearest point to each other (see illustration). If not, turn the crankshaft as necessary.
38 Unbolt and remove the timing chain
tensioner. Take care not to allow the spring-
loaded tensioner plunger to eject (see
illustration).
39 Lock the camshaft sprocket by passing a
rod through one of the holes and unscrew the
sprocket retaining bolt (see illustration).
40 Remove the camshaft sprocket then
release the chain from the crankshaft sprocket
and remove the camshaft sprocket and chain
from the engine.
41 If required, the crankshaft sprocket, Woodruff
key and chain guide can now be also removed.
42 Clean away all old pieces of gasket from
the cylinder block and timing cover flanges.
43 Remove and discard the sump gasket.
The gasket rear tabs may break off, so pick them out of the recesses in the rear main
bearing cap using a sharp, pointed knife.
Refer to Part A, Section 15 of this Chapter.
