does it really matter the order of removing the cam cap bolts?? cause i know that when installing back on it matters, but if so can someone give me the correct order to remove the cam caps intake/exhaust??

i would like to know the valve cover to if it matters.

yes the pattern matters, as you could technically run the risk of flexing the cam..

alot of things are like that... technically even the valve cover nuts have a correct torque spec.

I would suggest a shop manual for your car, they are cheap and easy to find. Helms/holmes/chiltons are the top 3 brands.

Did you make <FONT COLOR="red">search</FONT>-y?

 

i have the service manual but they only show the order of installing them back in so im gon ask on HT instead.

for the valve cover theres only a order of installing it, theres everything else in the manual except for those 2.

yeaa i tryed a search.

Removal is always the opposite order of installation. Over and across. Over and across. It's the same for everything - crank girdles, cam caps, cyl. heads. The point is that you're moving from the center outward.

Imagine you're putting a sticker on a glass window. If you want to get all the air bubbles out, you press the middle first, then work radially outward. Same theory. You're trying to work the flex to the outside edges.
