Q: How to service and repair the LH camshaft on Lincoln LS?
A: To service the LH camshaft, remove the timing chains and thrust caps to prevent damage. Keep caps in original positions. Remove camshafts, lubricate with SAE 5W-20 oil, and reinstall bearing caps loosely. Tighten bolts in sequence, adjust valve spring-lash if new camshafts are installed, and check for binding before rotating.
