Opel Frontera A 2.3 TD - Cylinder Head Disassembly - Part2 (Camshaft removal)


I started to disassemble cylinder head and the first thing i did, I removed the camshaft. So, in this post I'll shortly describe how the job was done.

Opel Frontera 2.3 TD Camshaft removal - bolt tightening sequence


To remove the camshaft from Opel Frontera 2.3 TD cylinder head you need to remove the bolts that are holding the camshaft by it's pedestals on cylinder head and you must follow the same procedure as for cylinder head removal from the engine, which i described in one of previous posts.




On the previous picture you can see the sequence for tightening the bolts that are holding camshaft, so you need to go in reverse order to the shown sequence and be careful like i wrote before. (Each camshaft pedestal has two bolts.)

While removing the camshaft from cylinder head I was very careful not to let the pedestals slide from the camshaft, so when I decide to assemble everything back I will have everything as it was. (Camshaft pedestals can easily slide from the camshaft because everything is oiled up.)

To be sure that pedestals will stay on their positions I wrapped everything with some masking tape and plastic wrap, as shown on the next picture.



Next part of job is to remove the valves from cylinder head, so I will write short description about the work in next post.

Opel Frontera A 2.3 TD - Cylinder Head Disassembly - Part1


As I promised, in previous post about Opel Frontera A 2.3 TD  Bad Head gasket - part3, I will now give short description about the work I did during cylinder head disassembly.





To start the disassembly of the cylinder head you need to prepare your working area and tools that you will need during cylinder head disassembly. As you can see on the next pictures i used one small working table  and two pieces of wooden board on which i placed the cylinder head.

It is important to use these boards because there must be some empty space below cylinder head so you won't harm the valves that are sticking below cylinder head.

Next part of job is to remove the camshaft, so I will write short description about the work in next post.
