I know what the original service manual says. I am trying to understand what the recall instructions are asking for.

Do the “new” instructions ask for A or B:
A: remove the cam caps and leave the subassembly bolted to the head.
B: unbolt the subassembly from the head

As I said before, option A would save hours of time because it avoids most of the packing seal but risks head warping. Option B is what the original manual tells you to do.
