ENGINE DISASSEMBLY / INSPECTION - TOP END
Valve Cover Removal
NOTE: The valve cover can be removed with the
engine installed in the chassis.
1. Remove the four valve cover shoulder bolts
and
isolators
using a T40 driver.
2. Replace isolators
when they are removed and
replace valve cover seal
if oil leaks are evident.
3. Remove the spark plugs
. Stuff spark plug holes
with shop towels to prevent anything from falling into
the combustion chamber.
Camshaft Removal
NOTE: The camshafts can be removed with the
engine installed in the chassis.
1. Rotate the engine so the PTO cylinder is at Top
Dead Center (TDC) to relieve most of the valve
spring pressure. The camshaft lobes should face out
and the slots on the end of the camshafts should
line up.
2. Remove the hydraulic cam chain tensioner
from
the cylinder. Replace the sealing washer
upon
reassembly.
