Camshaft - Remove
SMCS - 1210-011

Removal Procedure
Start By:

A. Remove the front housing. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, " Housing (Front) - Remove".
B. Remove the rocker shaft assembly and the pushrods. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly,
"Rocker Shaft and Pushrod - Remove".
C. Remove the oil pan. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Engine Oil Pan - Remove and
Install".

Note: In this removal procedure, the engine needs to be placed in the upside-down position. This will
allow the lifters to remain in position after the camshaft is removed.

NOTICE

Contaminants may cause rapid wear and shortened component life.

NOTICE
Care must be taken to ensure that fluids are contained during
performance of inspection, maintenance, testing, adjusting and repair

before opening any compartment or disassembling any component
containing fluids.
