Camshaft Chain Tensioner

Camshaft Chain Tensioner Remova l

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

mounting 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 camshaft chain

timing, and damage the valves.
