Camshaft Removal

Make sure all loose components are secured to, or removed from, the engine before rotating engine on the stand. Failure to do so may result in damage to components or severe personal injury.

1.Rotate engine so that the deck surface is downward and the oil pan rail is upward (engine inverted).

When the engine is rotated, the valve lifters will fall downward into the push rod holes but will be captured by their heads. They will be out of the way for camshaft removal.

Refer to Figure 147.
