CAUTION: The cylinder head and the camshaft bearing caps are numbered to make sure they are reassembled in their original position. When removed, keep the bearing caps with the cylinder head they were removed from. Do not mix the caps.

NOTE:
- Camshaft bearing caps are dowelled to cylinder head. If necessary, use a plastic mallet to loosen the caps.
- Remove camshaft bearing thrust caps nos. 1 and 5 first. Do not loosen any of the other bolts until the thrust caps are removed.





63. Loosen the camshafts (RH cylinder head).

2 Remove the tensioner.
3 Remove the tensioner arm.





67. Remove the LH timing chain.
1 Remove the bolts and the fixed chain guide
2 Remove the LH timing chain.

CAUTION: The cylinder head and the camshaft bearing caps are numbered to make sure they are reassembled in their original position. When removed, keep the bearing caps with the cylinder head they were removed from. Do not mix the caps.

NOTE: Remove camshaft bearing thrust caps nos. 1 and 5 first. Do not loosen any of the other bolts until the thrust caps are removed.





68. Loosen the camshafts (LH cylinder head).
- Loosen the remaining bolts and bearing caps in the indicated sequence in several passes to allow the camshafts to gradually rise from the cylinder head.
- Remove the roller finger followers (RFF).

75. Remove the bolts in the indicated sequence and remove the oil pump.

CAUTION: Pistons, connecting rods and connecting rod bearings should be numbered to ensure they are reassembled in the same position.

NOTE:
- Mark the position of the connecting rod caps to the connecting rods to ensure correct installation.
- Discard the connecting rod bolts after removal.





76. Remove the connecting rod bolts, the connecting rod caps and the lower connecting rod bearings.

77. Inspect the tops of the cylinder bores. If necessary remove ridge and/or carbon buildups from each cylinder.
