FRONT CRANKSHAFT
OIL
SEAL
REPLACEMENT
The oil seal can be replaced without removing the
timing chain cover provided the cover is not mis­ aligned. (1) Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
(2) Remove vibration damper.
(3) If front seal is suspected of leaking, check front
oil seal alignment to crankshaft. The seal installa­
tion/alignment tool 6635, should fit with minimum interference. If tool does not fit, the cover must be re­
moved and installed properly. (4) Place a suitable tool behind the lips of the oil
seal to pry the oil seal outward. Be careful not to
damage the crankshaft seal surface of cover. (5) Place the smaller diameter of the oil seal over
Front Oil Seal Installation Tool 6635 (Fig. 6). Seat
the oil seal in the groove of the tool. (6) Position the seal and tool onto the crankshaft
(Fig. 7). (7) Using the vibration damper bolt, tighten the
bolt to draw the seal into position on the crankshaft (Fig. 8). (8) Remove the vibration damper bolt and seal in­
stallation tool. (9) Install the vibration damper.
(10) Connect the negative cable to the battery.

CAMSHAFT
This procedure requires that the engine is removed
from the vehicle. The camshaft has an integral oil pump and distrib­
utor drive gear (Fig. 9).

REMOVAL
(1) Remove intake manifold.
(2) Remove cylinder head covers.
(3) Remove timing case cover and timing chain.
(4) Remove rocker arms.
(5) Remove push rods and tappets. Identify each
part so it can be installed in its original location.

INSPECTION
Remove the cup plugs and inspect the coolant pas­

sages.
A large build up of rust and lime will require
removal of the cylinder block for cleaning in a hot
tank.
Inspect the cylinder bores for damage or excessive
wear. Rotate the crankshaft so the piston is at Bot­
tom Dead Center (BDC) to inspect the bores. Measure the cylinder bores (Fig. 8). DO NOT pro­
ceed with in-chassis repair if the bores are damaged
or worn beyond the limits (refer to Cylinder Bore Re­
pair - Cylinder Block).
Check the top surface for damage caused by the
cylinder head gasket leaking between cylinders.
Inspect the block and head surface for nicks, ero­
sion, etc. Check the head distortion (Fig. 9). The distortion of
the combustion deck face is not to exceed 0.010 mm (0.0004 inch) in any 50.8 mm (2.00 inch) diameter.
Overall variation end to end or side to side 0.30 mm (0.012 inch).
(3) Disconnect the radiator and heater hoses (refer
to Group 7, Cooling System). (4) Remove the turbocharger.

CLEANING AND INSPECTION
Before cleaning, note the valve number. Clean the
valve heads with a soft wire wheel. Mark the valve
with the numbet* noted above.
Polish the valve stems with crocus cloth.
Inspect for abnormal wear on the valve heads and

stems.
Replace badly worn valves. Check for bent valves. Replace bent valves.
Measure the valve stem diameter (Fig. 2). The
valve stem diameter should be 7.935-7.960 mm (0.3126-0.3134 inch). If out of limits, replace the
valve. Mark the new valves with the replacement lo­ cation. Ik 1
