NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.
NOTE: If the RH camshafts are being serviced at the same time as the LH camshafts, remove the RH camshafts first. Refer to the procedure in this section.
NOTE: If the components are to be reinstalled, they must be installed in their original locations.

camshaft bearing caps. Failure to follow this direction may result in damage to the engine.
