Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine CAUTION: Care should be taken not to damage
camshaft target wheel. Do not hold target wheel
while loosening or tightening camshaft sprocket.
Do not place the target wheel near a magnetic
source of any kind. A damaged or magnetized tar-
get wheel could cause a vehicle no start condition.
CAUTION: Do not forcefully rotate the camshafts or
crankshaft independently of each other. Damaging
intake valve to piston contact will occur. Ensure
negative battery cable is disconnected to guard
against accidental starter engagement.

(14) While holding the left camshaft steel tube
with adjustable pliers, (Fig. 80) remove the left cam-
shaft sprocket. Slowly rotate the camshaft approxi-
mately 15 degrees clockwise to a neutral position.
(15) While holding the right camshaft steel tube
with adjustable pliers, (Fig. 81) remove the right
camshaft sprocket. Slowly rotate the camshaft
approximately 45 degrees counterclockwise to a neu-
tral position.

CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARINGS
CRANKSHAFT MAIN BEARING SELECTION
The main bearings are ªselect fitº to achieve proper
oil clearances. For main bearing selection, the crank-
shaft position sensor target wheel has grade identifi-
cation marks stamped into it (Fig. 104). These marks
are read from left to right, corresponding with jour-
nal number 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. The crankshaft position
sensor target wheel is mounted to the number 8
counter weight on the crankshaft.
NOTE: Service main bearings color coded. These
color codes identify what size (grade) the bearing
is.
