  Q: How to remove and install the Camshaft and Rocker Arm on Mercury Lynx?

  A:

  To replace the valve cover; the following step is followed, Remove the battery negative cable and the crankcase ventilation hose from the intake manifold and the valve cover. Disconnect the throttle cable and take out the air cleaner. Next, take out the bolts and disconnect the valve cover, this is also a good time to make sure old gasket material is scraped off both the surfaces and to wipe down the area with a rag and a little lacquer thinner or acetone. If the valve cover gasket is of the non-sealed variety, replace it with a new one; on the other hand, if RTV sealant was applied before, remove this and apply a new ring to the mating surface; ensure that the inside of the bolt holes is covered as well. For camshaft, lifters, rocker arms, first, remove the valve cover and if they are not restricted from the other components unbolt the fuel pump if applicable. Take off the distributor cap and put it aside, next unscrew the rocker arms, fulcrums and lifter guide retainers and retain all the components in order. Remove the hydraulic lifters, and the drive belts, ignition coil and the Timing Belt, where necessary. Remove the lock and then slacken the sprocket bolt before unbolt the thrust plate to remove the camshaft gently. For all of the lifters look for wear and whorl on the roller lifters & check the rocker arms for wear on the contact points, and replace them with new ones if worn out. Wear check should be made on the camshaft lobes and measure also the bearing journals and bearing surfaces on the same camshaft should also be measured with the specification. For installation it is imperative to conduct the following, lubricant the camshaft bearing surfaces, fit a new oil seal, apply the thread locking compound to the sprocket bolt and finally check the timing belt. Coat the hydraulic lifters with oil before fitting them and reinstall the rocker arms one by one making sure that the hydraulic lifters are located properly before tightening the nuts.
