ance:
(1) Clean the bearing caps and camshaft jour-
nals.
(2) Place the camshafts on cylinder head.
(Without installing the valve rocker.)
(3) Place a plastigauge across each camshaft
journals.

threads to prevent the cylinder head from falling.
9) While tapping the cylinder head with a plastic
hammer, separate it from cylinder block.
10) Remove the bolts (2) and (4) to remove cylin-
der head.
11) Remove the cylinder head gasket.

kgf-m, 37 ft-lb) in numerical sequence as shown
in the figure.
(4) Back off all the bolts by 180° in reverse order
of installation, and back them off again by 180°.
(5) Tighten the bolts with torque of 20 N·m (2.0
kgf-m, 14 ft-lb) in numerical sequence as shown
in the figure.
