Mopar 4387661 Engine Camshaft

This can be initiated by taking out the manifold assembly, and then the cylinder head. Third, to remove the Lash Adjusters, tighten special tool No. C-4129 firmly into the head of every Lash Adjuster and twist it off. Lash Adjusters should be arranged, by numbering or having names on them or put in numbered rack. Go ahead and take out the timing gears and chain and then follow by distributor and oil pump and finally the fuel pump. For ease of withdrawal of the camshaft it is advisable to place a long bolt at the front of it. Gently remove the camshaft in order not to have the cam bearings scratched by the cam lobes. Camshaft lobes and the bearing journals have to be lubricated with the engine assembly lube before the installation of the camshaft. Lastly, fit the camshaft back in place but make a sure that the Lash Adjusters are well positioned in the correct orientation as they head the list among the components that should not be twisted while fitting those that follow the reverse sequence of removal.
