Removal

CAUTION: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.

1. Remove the camshaft roller followers.

2. CAUTION: If the components are to be reinstalled, they must be installed in their original positions or damage to the engine may occur. Mark the components for installation into their original locations.

NOTE: If air pressure has forced the piston to the bottom of the cylinder, any loss of air pressure will allow the valve(s) to fall into the cylinder. A rubber band, tape or string wrapped around the end of the valve stem will prevent this from happening.

NOTE: If a valve drops into the cylinder, remove the cylinder head.

Pressurize the cylinder using compressed air.
3. Using the special tool, remove the key, retainer and the valve spring.





4. NOTE: Camshaft removed for clarity.

Remove and discard the valve seal.
