Removal
1. Remove the timing drive components.
2. CAUTION: The camshafts must be in the NEUTRAL position before removing the bearing caps.
Verify the camshafts are in the NEUTRAL position.
3. CAUTION: Cylinder head camshaft bearing caps and cylinder heads are numbered to verify that they are assembled in their original positions.
CAUTION: After loosening all of the camshaft bearing cap bolts, remove the camshaft bearing thrust caps (5R and 1R) first, or damage to the thrust caps may occur.
Loosen the bolts evenly in the sequence shown.
1 Remove the camshaft bearing thrust caps (5R and 1R).
2 Remove the remaining camshaft bearing caps.
3 Remove the camshafts from the cylinder head.
4. Position the intake camshaft in a soft-jawed vise and remove the bolt and the variable camshaft timing (VCT) actuator.
