INTRODUCTION
How to Use This Manual
This manual contains information for the 1996 - 2000 ClVlC. lt is
divided into 24 sections. The first page of each section is marked
with a black tab that lines up with its corresponding thumb index

tents. The symbols printed at the top corner of each page can also
be used as a quick reference system.
Each section includesl
1. A table of contents, or an exploded view index showing:
. Parts disassemblY sequence.
. Bolt torques and thread sizes.
. Page references to descriptaons in text
2. Disassembly/assembly procedures and tools.
3. Inspection.
4. Testing/troubleshooting.
5. Repair.
6. Adjustments.

Inspection
NOTE:
. Do not rotate the camshaft during inspection.
. Removg the rocker arms and rocker shafts.
'L Put the camshafts and camshaft holders on the cylin-
der head. and then tighten the bolts to the specified
torque.
Specified Torque:

4.Remove the bolts. then remove the camshaft hold-
ers from the cylinder head.
- Lift the camshaft out of the cylinder head, wipe
clean, then inspect the lift ramps. Replace the
camshaft if lobes are pitted, scored, or excessively
- Clean the camshaft bearing surfaces in the cylin
der head, then set the camshaft back in place,
- Insert a plastigage strip across each iournal.
Put the camshaft on the cylinder head. then install
the camshaft holders, and then tighten the bolts to
the specified torque as shown in the left column on
this page.
Remove the camshaft holders, then measure the
widest portion of the plastigage on each journal.
