Removing the Camshaft.
To remove the camshaft it is necessary to remove
the engine from the application. After being removed the
engine should be mounted in a suitable dismantling
stand so that it can be turned upside down to prevent the
tappets from falling into the sump when the camshaft is
removed.
The removal procedure is as follows:—
1.
Remove the engine from the application and
mount in a suitable dismantling stand.
2.
Remove the rocker cover, rocker assembly and
push rods.
3.
Remove the timing case front cover, timing
gears and timing case as previously described.
4.
Turn the engine over so that the sump is
uppermost.
5.
Remove the fuel lift pump (see Fig. K.10).
6.
Remove the camshaft thrust plate from its
location on the front of the cylinder block (see
Fig. K.11).
7.
Carefully withdraw the camshaft taking care not
to damage the journals or cams (See Fig. K.12).
8.
If desired the tappets may now be withdrawn
after the sump has been removed (see Fig
K.13).
To Refit the Tappets and Camshaft
1.
If the tappets have been removed refit them in
their locations (see Fig. K.13).

Carefully refit the camshaft to the cylinder block
taking care not to damage the journals or cams.
3.
Fit the camshaft thrust plate to its location on the
front face of the cylinder block ensuring that the
plate is correctly positioned on the dowel.
Check the thrust plate protrusion beyond the
front face of the cylinder block. See "Technical
Data."
4.
Refit the sump, turn the engine upright and refit
the fuel lift pump together with a new joint.
5.
Using new joints, refit the timing case, timing
gears and timing case front cover to the engine.
6.
Refit the push rods and rocker assembly.
