To start with, relieve the pressure in the fuel system and disconnect the battery to remove the camshaft. After that, drain the cooling system and remove timing chain cover, timing chain, phaser, and oil pump. Then remove cylinder heads and radiator. Remove Lash Adjuster rail mounting bolts next and extract Lash Adjusters from bore of Lash Adjusters using a special tool or magnet. Before camshaft removal check endplay and then remove thrust plate of camshaft. Carefully pull it using a long bolt as handle while turning it. To inspect camshaft; look for discoloration on lobes, score marks on lobes, uneven wear on lobes, check bearing journals for wear on journals of bearings measure lobe height for each lobe of camshaft among others things such as this. Check shoves inside Lash Adjuster wall, Lash Adjuster seats valves along pushrod or roller. If new Lash Adjusters are going into engine, new camshaft must also be installed with them. With installation lube apply some lubricant onto both bearing journal as well as the hardened lobes of the camshaft before sliding its nose into place and installing thrust plate for it. Installation is followed by installation of timing chain, sprocket, lubricating Lash Adjusters then finally putting them in block. Finally complete remaining steps in checking if necessary filling coolant system oil filter starting engine checking leaks changing oil breaking components to other new ones that remain.

Camshaft replacement in the diesel engine is a thorny affair for there are special tools and means of Lash Adjuster retention available. Before starting, if the vehicle features air conditioning and you plan to remove the camshaft with the engine in place, a trained professional should have the air conditioning system discharged. Start by removing the crankshaft damper and gear housing cover followed by the radiator, upper radiator support panel, intercooler, and air conditioning condenser. If method two is chosen for Lash Adjuster retention it will be necessary to take away the fuel transfer pump, fuel filter/water separator, and fuel injection pump. Put the engine at TDC for cylinder number 1 then continue to remove the valve cover rocker arm push-rods. For Method One, you will use wooden dowels to hold onto your Lash Adjusters into their bores when you need them, while small hoses keep it stuck at the top of its bore if method two is selected. Insert dowels through pushrod holes and secure with rubber bands so that they keep Lash Adjusters up. You can now take out the camshaft only after all Lash Adjusters are secured. In this case, use small hose clamps to secure the Lash Adjusters at their "full-up" height in Method Two or even use wooden dowels aside from having 'O' ring retaining springs between each pair of valves in Method One since these methods allow both types of retainers to be engaged simultaneously on opposite sides of each cylinder head. Remove camshaft thrust plate bolts ensuring that it does not go too deep into the block once camshafts are properly secured in their position via clamping down by using such things like hose clamps or dowel pins where needed. After removing, inspect cam shafts and Lash Adjusters for wear & tear / damage/ measurements with relation to wear rate under these different conditions until change. A new one should replace worn-out components as need dictates. Lubricate the camshaft fully and place it into the block with timing marks aligned on the camshaft gear and crankshaft gear. Secure the camshaft thrust plate bolts, not pushing the camshaft too far down into the block. Pushrods, rocker arms, and other components can now be reassembled after removing all Lash Adjuster retaining dowels or clamps. Check valve clearance & complete the installation process including engine oil change as well as filter. Install the side cover with a new gasket if it was removed. Finally, have the air conditioning system evacuated, recharged, and leak tested by a professional shop.

Lubricate the shafts and reinstall them in their marked order, ensuring that intake rockers remain on the intake shaft and exhaust rockers on the exhaust shaft, with notches in the rocker arm shafts facing up to prevent damage.

If replacing or removing all rocker arms or lash adjusters, start with cylinder number one and work on one cylinder at a time, following the firing order while keeping the rocker arm and lash adjuster for each valve together.

The MOS is a system equipped in some engines that uses a specialized camshaft. When replacing the camshaft, it should only be replaced with one that is compatible with the MOS design. Additionally, if the camshaft is replaced, all lifters must also be replaced.

The alternative is to remove the timing chains and camshafts, which requires major disassembly of the engine.

Position the engine at TDC (Top Dead Center) for cylinder number 1, then proceed to remove the valve cover, rocker arms, and pushrods.

Check the endplay and remove the camshaft thrust plate.

Use the valve spring compressor to depress the valve spring and remove the rocker arm.
