CAMSHAFT
 Install camshaft so that dowel pin on front end face are posi-
tioned as shown in the figure. (No. 1 cylinder TDC on its com-
pression stroke)
NOTE:
Though camshaft does not stop at the position as shown in the
figure, for the placement of cam nose, it is generally accepted
camshaft is placed for the same direction of the figure.
3. Install camshaft brackets.  Remove foreign material completely from camshaft bracketbackside and from cylinder head installation face.
 Install by referring to installation location mark on upper sur-
face and front mark.
 Install so that installation location mark can be correctly read when viewed from the side of left exhaust bank.
 Apply liquid gasket to mating surface of camshaft bracket (No. 1) as shown in the figure.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-44, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
CAUTION:
 After installation, be sure to wipe off any excessive liq- uid gasket leaking from part “A” and “B” (both on right
and left sides).
 Remove completely any excess of liquid gasket inside bracket.
 Apply liquid gasket to mating surface of camshaft bracket (No. 6) on left bank intake as shown in the figure.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-44, "
Recommended Chemical Product and Sealant".
CAUTION:
 After installation, be sure to wipe off any excessive liq- uid gasket leaking from part “A” and “B” (both on right
and left sides).

REMOVAL
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle. Refer to EM-237, "Component".
2. Remove camshaft relating to valve oil seal to be removed. Refer to EM-211, "
Component".
3. Remove valve lifters. Refer to EM-211, "
Component".
 Identify installation positions, and store them without mixing them up.

ment and adapter (SST). Remove valve collet with magnetic
hand.
CAUTION:
When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.
6. Remove valve spring retainer and valve spring (with valve spring seat). CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
7. Remove valve oil seal using valve oil seal puller (SST).
INSTALLATION
1. Apply new engine oil on new valve oil seal joint and seal lip.
2. Install valve oil seal.  Install with valve oil seal drift (SST) to match dimension in the
