IMPORTANT
Mark the camshaft timing gear faces to easily
distinguish between intake and exhaust.
Take note of camshaft housings, location and
orientation to aid in assembly.
10. Loosen the camshaft housing bolts in sequence as
shown in figure 7-47.
11. Remove camshaft housings (14). Note the locations
and orientation using the stamped markings.
• The “I” or “E” markings (12) refer to intake or exhaust
side camshaft.
• The numerical markings (13) refer to the cylinder the
housing corresponds with. The cylinders are
numbered 1—3, starting from the timing chain
moving toward the rear of engine.
• The arrow marking (15) points toward the timing
chain (front of engine).
12. Remove the intake and exhaust camshafts. Inspect
camshafts for signs of wear or damage. Replace as
needed.
Remove camshaft housing cap screws using
illustrated sequence. Incorrect removal can result
in damaged camshafts.
When removing camshaft housings, camshafts,
shims, and tappets, be sure to note location and
orientation of all parts to aid in assembly.
Failure to install parts properly can result in
engine damage and failure.
