Unscrew the bearing caps 0, 3, 4, 7 and 8 of the camshafts (Fig. 3.4–63).
Gradually unscrew bearing caps 2 and 6 crosswise and remove the exhaust camshaft.
Gradually unscrew bearing caps 1 and 5 crosswise and remove the intake camshaft.
Installation
Make sure the crankshaft is secured with set screw 3242.
Unscrew the stud located at the end of the camshaft from the cylinder head.
Make sure the thrust washers are in place.
Check the condition and position of the rocker arms and hydraulic tappets.

Fig. 3.4–64. Using tool 3458 to correctly install camshafts
Install the intake camshaft in place so that tool 3458 can be installed into the end of the shaft (Fig. 3.4–64).
Install bearing caps 1 and 5 and secure them with bolts.
Install bearing caps 2 and 6 and secure them with bolts.
Install bearing caps 0, 3, 4, 7, 8 and secure them with bolts.
Recheck the position of the rocker arms and hydraulic lifters.
Clean the mating surfaces on the cylinder head and camshaft outer caps.

Fig. 3.4–65. Place where the sealant layer is applied to the right inner rear cover
Apply a thin layer of sealant to the mating surface of the right inner rear cover (Fig. 3.4–65).

Fig. 3.4–66. Place where a layer of sealant is applied to the outer rear or front right cover.
Apply a thin layer of sealant to the mating surface of the outer rear or front right cover (see Fig. 3.4–66).
Install the outer covers.
Further installation is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
