Camshaft Chain Tensioner Removal
                         NOTICE
 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.
