Removal and Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Lincoln LS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Remove the camshafts. For additional information, refer to VALVE TRAIN COMPONENTS - EXPLODED VIEW  and CAMSHAFTS  in this article .
    2. CAUTION: Do not use any means of marking the shims other than a permanent-type marker. Any scratches or paint on the shims can result in incorrect lash adjustments and severe engine damage.

    NOTE: The number on the valve tappets only reflects the digits that follow the decimal. For example, a tappet with the number 0.650 has the thickness of 3.650 mm.
  2. Remove and inspect the valve tappets and shims. For additional information, refer to ENGINE SYSTEM-GENERAL INFORMATION .
    3. NOTE: Coat the valve tappets and shims with clean engine oil.
