4. Disassembly, inspection and reassembly of engines
[Disassemble]
• Since the camshaft gear is shrink-fit, heat it to
180°C to 200°C for extraction.
• For camshaft removal, raise the engine with its mount-
ing flange at the bottom. After removing the thrust
metal mounting bolt from the camshaft gear hole,
extract the camshaft carefully so as not to damage the
bearing bushing.
• Rotate the camshaft a few turns before extracting it to
prevent the tappet from being caught by the cam.
• After removing the camshaft, set the engine horizontal
and fix it on the base.
Unforeseen injury may arise due to falling of slipping
when raising the engine vertically or returning it to the
horizontal position. Proceed carefully so as not to lose
balance.
Point8: Gear case
[Reassemble]
• Do not forget to install the oil pan mounting bolts on the
bottom side when installing the gear case.
• Apply sealant (code No.977770-01212) and install the
gear case by matching the two dowel pints.
