NOTICE: Since the thrust clearance of the camshaft is small,

the camshaft must be kept level while it is being removed. If the

camshaft is not kept camshaft is not kept level, the portion of

the cylinder head receiving the shaft thrust may crack or be

damaged, causing the camshaft to seize or break. To avoid
