Camshaft and tappets - remove

1. Remove tappets and retain with their

respective pushrods.

CAUTION: Store tappets upright to
prevent oil loss.

damaged camshaft contact area, proceed as
follows. Lift tappets in pairs to the point where

and fit rubber bands to retain tappets. Repeat
until all tappets are retained clear of camshaft
lobes. The tappets can then be withdrawn out
the bottom of their bores when the sump and
camshaft are removed.

3. Remove camshaft gear and bolt.

4. Remove 2 bolts securing camshaft thrust plate

to cylinder block, remove plate.

5. Withdraw camshaft, taking care not to damage

bearings in cylinder block.

NOTE: Camshafts fitted to 4.0 litre engines
are colour coded ORANGE whilst those

RED.
