I have my camshaft ready for removal, I can not tell what bolts are holding the caps on. Do I have to remove the rocker arms also. Can anyone lead me to a picture of the bolts to remove or a video on u tube. The belt is off and the sprocket is loose. I don't want to make a mistake and undo the wrong bolts. Thanks

Rockers must be removed. The bolts are located on the cap towers. AFAIK they're slightly smaller than the head bolts. If you're unsure at this step, seek for professional help, there's no room for mistake.

Thanks for the info. I just didn;t want to get involved removing the wrong bolts. The outer bolts looked like they were the head bolts but I just didn';t know. I will check out this video. Thanks

Well, that went pretty easy. It is a 10mm tripple square bit to remove the bolts. Pulled the rocker arms off. Now what is holding the cam bearing caps on. Must be two bolts per cap but can't see or feel them. They have oil covering them . Can anyone tell me what size bolts?
