Removal & Installation
- Remove engine. See ENGINE REMOVAL & INSTALLATION article. Remove oil pan, oil pump, flywheel, timing cover and chain. Remove crankshaft. Remove camshaft. Push pistons to top of bore. Using Bearing Remover/Installer (J-6098-01), remove camshaft bearings.
- Install front and rear camshaft bearings first, to act as guides for remover/installer pilot. Ensure bearing oil passages are aligned with oil passages in block. Use 3/32" diameter round stock to check oil passage alignment. Coat camshaft rear bore plug with sealer. Install plug even to 1/32" below engine block surface.
