Remove inner fuel injection lines (1). Install caps and plugs on all fuel line openings to keep dirt out of the fuel system. If necessary, use Tooling (D) to turn the engine so the valves do not make contact with the pistons when the valves are opened with Tool (C) to remove the push rods.3. Put compression on the valve springs with Tool (C), and remove push rods (2). Put identification marks on the push rods as to their location in the engine.4. Push the push rod end of the rocker arms down. 5. Remove the intake valve lifter with Tooling (E) as follows:a. Install 5P-2685 Nut(3) and 5P-6601 Collet(4) on 5P-2408 Outer Handle Assembly(5).b. Install 5P-6599 Inner Handle Assembly(6) in 5P-2408 Outer Handle Assembly(5). c. Install Tooling (E) in the intake valve lifter. Hold the 5P-2408 Outer Handle Assembly,and tighten the 5P-6599 Inner Handle Assemblyuntil the 5P-6601 Colletis tight against the inside of the intake valve lifter. d. Remove intake valve lifters (7) from the cylinder block with Tooling (E). Put identification marks on the lifters as to their location in the engine. 6. Remove the exhaust valve lifters with Tooling (E) as follows:a. Install 5P-2685 Nut(3) and 5P-6601 Collet(4) on 5P-2408 Outer Handle Assembly(5). The opening in the cylinder head assembly for the intake valve lifter is larger than the opening in the exhaust valve lifter side. The tooling and each valve lifter must be installed and removed from the intake valve lifter side.b. Install the outer handle assembly in the intake valve lifter side of the cylinder head assembly. Slide the flat area of 5P-2408 Outer Handle Assembly(5) through the head casting, and install the 5P-6601 Colletin the exhaust valve lifters. c.
