    CAUTION:

    Air pressure applied to the cylinder holds the valves in place. This air pressure also has a tendency to force the piston down and rotate the crankshaft. Do not allow the crankshaft to rotate. Crankshaft rotation may damage the timing chain or front timing cover and affect camshaft timing.

  3. If removing the RH camshafts, install the (2) to lock the crankshaft against rotation.
