20. Remove the camshaft.

20.1.

Install 3 M8-125 x 100 mm bolts in the camshaft front bolt holes.

20.2.

Using the bolts as a handle, carefully rotate and pull the camshaft out of the engine block.

20.3.

Remove the bolts from the camshaft.

Important: If camshaft replacement is required, the valve lifters must also be replaced.

1. Lubricate the camshaft journals and the bearings with clean engine oil.
2. Install 3 M8-125 x 100 mm bolts in the NEW camshaft front bolt holes.
3. Using the bolts as a handle, carefully install the NEW camshaft into the engine block.
4. Remove the 3 bolts from the camshaft.

Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in the Preface section.





Important: 

•	Install the retainer plate with the sealing gasket facing the engine block.

•	The gasket surface on the engine block should be clean and free of dirt or debris.

5. Install the camshaft retainer (203) and bolts (204).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).





Important: 

•	Properly locate the camshaft sprocket onto the locating pin of the camshaft.

•	The sprocket teeth and timing chain teeth must mesh.

•	The camshaft and crankshaft sprocket alignment marks MUST be aligned properly. Position the camshaft sprocket alignment mark in the 6 o'clock position.

6. Install the camshaft sprocket (205) and timing chain (208). If necessary, rotate the camshaft or crankshaft sprocket in order to align the timing marks.
7. Install the camshaft sprocket bolts (206).

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).
