Camshaft Chain Tensioner Removal
CAUTION
This is a non-return type cam chain tensioner. The
push rod does not return to its original position
once it moves out to take up cam chain slack. Ob-
serve all the rules listed below:
When removing the tensioner, do not take out the
mounting bolts only partway. Retightening the
mounting bolts from this position could damage
the tensioner and the camshaft chain. Once the
bolts are loosened, the tensioner must be removed
and reset as described in “Cam shaft Chain Ten-
sioner Installation”.
Do not turn over the crankshaft w hile the tensioner
is removed. This could upset the cam chain timing,
and dam age the valves.
