Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Mark the new exhaust camshaft actuator at the same point as the old exhaust camshaft actuator.
- Rotate the exhaust camshaft clockwise with an open ended wrench slightly to fit the exhaust camshaft actuator in the exhaust camshaft.
- Install the exhaust camshaft actuator (2) to the camshaft while also installing the actuator at the timing chain.
- Release tension slowly from the exhaust camshaft.
- Install the NEW camshaft position exhaust actuator bolt (1) handtighten.
- Remove both EN-48749 retention tool from the timing chain.
- Reset and install the timing chain tensioner. Refer to Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement .
- Install the EN-48953 locking tool (1) to the camshafts.
- Install the EN-48953 locking tool bolts an tighten to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Tighten the exhaust camshaft actuator (2) a first pass to 30 N.m (22 lb in).
- Tighten the exhaust camshaft actuator a final pass to an additional 100 degrees, using the EN-45059 meter.
- Remove the EN-48953 locking tool.
- Rotate the crankshaft clockwise at the crankshaft balancer bolt to 720 degrees and ensure that the marks are still fit. If the marks are not fit, refer to Camshaft Timing Chain, Sprocket, and Tensioner Replacement .
- Install the front wheelhouse liner. Refer to Front Wheelhouse Liner Replacement .
- Install the upper timing chain guide. Refer to Timing Chain Upper Guide Replacement .
- Install the spark plugs. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement .
- Install the camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement .
