20. IF NECESSARY, REMOVE SEMI-CIRCULAR PLUGS AND CAMSHAFT HOUSING PLUGS
21. REMOVE CAMSHAFTS
NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small, the camshaft must be kept level while it is being removed.
Otherwise, excessive pressure is put on the cylinder head journal thrust, causing a burr on the journal and damage on the camshaft. To avoid this, follow the steps below.
(a) Check the crankshaft pulley position.
Check that the timing mark of the crankshaft pulley is aligned with the centers of the crankshaft pulley bolt and the idler pulley bolt.
NOTICE: Having the crankshaft pulley at the wrong angle can cause the piston head and the valve head to come into contact with each other when removing the camshaft, causing damage on them. So always set the crankshaft pulley at the correct angle.
(b) Remove the RH camshafts.
Recommended service bolt:
HINT: When removing the camshafts, make sure that the torsional spring force of the sub-gear is eliminated by the above operation.
(c) Remove the LH camshafts.
Recommended service bolt:
HINT: When removing the camshaft, make sure that the torsional spring force of the sub-gear is eliminated by the above operation.
HINT: Arrange the bearing caps in correct order for installation.
22. DISASSEMBLE EXHAUST CAMSHAFTS
(a) Mount the hexagon wrench head portion of the camshaft in a vise.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the camshaft.
(b) Using SST, turn the sub-gear clockwise, and remove the service bolt.
SST 09960-10010 (09962-01000, 09963-00500)
(c) Using snap ring pliers, remove the snap ring.
(d) Remove the wave washer.
(e) Remove the camshaft sub-gear.
(f) Remove the camshaft gear spring.
HINT: Arrange the camshaft sub-gears and gear spring (RH and LH sides).
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the camshaft timing tube.
23. REMOVE OIL SEAL FROM INTAKE CAMSHAFT
24. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
25. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD AND EXHAUST MANIFOLD ASSEMBLIES

NOTICE:
(b) Lift the cylinder head from the dowels on the cylinder block, and place the 2 cylinder heads on wooden blocks.
HINT: After lifting off the cylinder head, pry off the cylinder head and the cylinder block with a screwdriver.
NOTICE:
26. REMOVE RH EXHAUST MANIFOLD FROM CYLINDER HEAD
(a) Remove the 4 bolts and the heat insulator.
(b) Remove the 8 nuts, the exhaust manifold and the gasket.
27. REMOVE LH EXHAUST MANIFOLD FROM CYLINDER HEAD
(a) Remove the 4 bolts and the heat insulator.
(b) Remove the 8 nuts, the exhaust manifold and the gasket.
