Camshaft Chain Tensioner
Camshaft Chain Tensioner Removal
CAUTION
This is a non-return type camshaft chain tensioner.
The push rod does not return to its original position
once it
moves out to take up camshaft chain slack.
Observe all the rules listed below:
When removing the tensioner, do not take out the
mounti
ng bolts only halfway. 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 "Camshaft Chain Ten-
sioner Installation."
Do not
turn over the crankshaft while the tensioner
is removed. This could upset the cam shaft chain
timing, and damage the valves.
