66. Install the damper bolt.
67. Remove the LH and RH spark plugs.
68. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise to position the crankshaft key way in the 11 o'clock position and position the camshafts in the correct position. This will position the number 1 cylinder at top dead center (TDC). Verify that the camshafts are correctly located. If not, rotate the crankshaft 1 additional turn and recheck.
69. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise 120 degrees to the 3 o'clock position to locate the RH camshafts in the neutral position.
70. Verify that the RH camshafts are in the neutral position.
71. Remove the RH timing chain tensioner arm. Remove the 2 bolts. Remove the tensioner. Remove the tensioner arm.
72. Remove the 2 bolts, RH timing chain guide and the timing chain.
73. Rotate the crankcase clockwise 600 degrees (1-2/3 turns) to position the crankcase keyway in the 11 o'clock position. This will position the LH camshafts in the neutral position.
74. Verify the LH camshafts are in the neutral position.
75. Remove the LH timing chain and tensioner arm. Remove the 2 bolts. Remove the tensioner. Remove the tensioner arm.
76. Remove the LH timing chain and timing chain guide.
77. Remove the damper bolt and the crankshaft sprockets.
78. Remove the 3 bolts and camshaft oil seal retainer. Remove and discard the press-in-place gasket.
79. Using a suitable press, remove the camshaft oil seal.
80. Loosen the LH and RH camshaft cap bolts in the indicated sequence and remove the camshaft caps. Tap the caps lightly with a soft-faced mallet to loosen the camshaft caps.
81. Remove the LH and RH camshafts.
82. Remove the LH and RH camshaft roller followers. Mark the location of the roller followers using a permanent-type marker.
83. Loosen the bolts in the indicated sequence and remove the LH and RH cylinder heads. Remove and discard the gaskets and the bolts.
84. Clean the cylinder head-to-cylinder block mating surface of both the cylinder head and the cylinder block. Remove any large deposits of silicone or gasket material with a plastic scraper. Apply silicone gasket remover, following package directions, and allow to set for several minutes. Remove the silicone gasket remover with a plastic scraper. A second application of silicone gasket remover may be required if residual traces of silicone or gasket material remain. Apply metal surface prep, following package directions, to remove any traces of oil or coolant, and to prepare the surfaces to bond with the new gasket. Do not attempt to make the metal shiny. Some staining of the metal surfaces is normal.
85. Support the cylinder head on a bench with the head gasket side up.
86. Inspect all areas of the deck face with a straightedge and feeler gauge. The cylinder head must not have depressions deeper than 0.0254 mm (0.001 in) across a 38.1 mm (1.5 in) square area, or scratches more than 0.0254 mm (0.001 in).
