Note: Note the removal sequence 1-4.

16. Remove the 4 camshaft bearing support bolts.
17. Release the bearing support by striking it gently with a plastic hammer.
18. Remove the 1st camshaft bearing support (5).

Note: Mark the exhaust camshaft bearing caps before removal.

19. Detach the camshaft bearing caps 1-4 working from outside to inside in a spiral in steps of 1/2 up to 1 turn.
20. Remove the camshaft bearing cover from the cylinder head.
21. Remove the intake camshaft.

Note: Mark the intake camshaft bearing caps before removal.

22. Detach the camshaft bearing caps 1-4 working from outside to inside in a spiral in steps of 1/2 up to 1 turn.
23. Remove the camshaft bearing cover from the cylinder head.
24. Remove the exhaust camshaft.
25. Using the EN 845 suction device (1), remove the 16 valve tappets.
26. Determine valve tappet size.

26.1. | Measurement of the cup tappet installed 3.12 mm (0.123 in), identification number 12

26.2. | Measured value between cams and cup tappets +0.31 mm (0.012 in) = 3.43 mm (0.135 in)
