Does anyone know if it is possible to pull and reinstall the head on a
3VZE without removing the camshaft. I have the a set of instructions
that I had my local Toyota dealership print out for me and they include
a few steps that I hope could be skipped although I haven't torn into
the engine yet to find out. The instructions outline removing the fuel
rails and injectors prior to removing the intake manifold as well as
removing the camshaft including their oil seals and bearing caps prior
to removing the head. Are the head bolts obstructed by the location of
the camshaft? Any advice would be appreciated including special tools
I may need, what seals to replace while I have it apart and things to
look for or look out for.
Thanks,
Chris
