Removal (Impulse, P'UP & Trooper II)
NOTE:
Turbo models use a timing belt instead of timing chain.

On non-turbo models, insert a screwdriver along right side of chain and depress tensioner lock lever rearward. Push in on tensioner adjustment shoe and lock it in retracted position by releasing lever.
- On turbo models, remove tension spring and loosen tensioner adjusting bolt. Move tension pulley toward water pump. Remove timing belt, pulley, tensioner and spring. While holding camshaft pulley stationary, remove camshaft pulley nut. Remove pulley and guide plate. Repeat procedure for oil pump pulley.
- On all models, start with outer nuts and work inward to loosen camshaft brackets. Remove camshaft brackets and nuts. Remove cylinder head-to-front cover bolts. Starting with outer bolts and working inward, loosen cylinder head bolts using Head Bolt Wrench (J-24239-01). Remove cylinder head and gasket.
