Disassembly and Assembly








Components

Disassembly





CAUTION:
^ When installing sliding parts such as rocker arms, camshaft and oil seal, be sure to apply new engine oil on their sliding surfaces.
^ When tightening cylinder head bolts and rocker shaft bolts, apply new engine oil to thread portions and seat surfaces of bolts.
^ If hydraulic valve lifter is kept on its side, there is a risk of air entering it. After removal, always set hydraulic valve lifter straight up, or when laying it on its side, have it soak in new engine oil.
^ Do not disassemble hydraulic valve lifter.
^ Attach tags to valve lifters so as not to mix them up.

Exhaust Manifold Disassembly Sequence:








1. Remove the exhaust manifold from the cylinder head. Loosen the manifold bolts in the numerical order as shown.
2. Remove the rocker shafts with the rocker arms attached.
^ The rocker shaft bolts must be loosened in two or three steps.





3. Remove the hydraulic valve lifters and lifter guide.
^ Hold the hydraulic valve lifters with a wire so that they will not drop out of the lifter guide.
4. Remove the oil seal and camshaft.
^ Before removing the camshaft, measure the camshaft end play.





5. Remove the valve spring components using Tool as shown.





6. Remove the valve oil seals using Tool, or suitable tool.

Inspection
