WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
The timing chain tensioner plunger is under high tension and must be retained by using the tensioner retraction pin during removal or installation of the timing chain tensioner. Failure to retain the timing chain tensioner plunger may cause it to be ejected with intense force and cause personal injury.
Rotate the engine counter clockwise until the left hand bank camshaft flats with laser etched markings are straight up in relation to the cylinder head. The crankshaft key way will be at approximately the 11 o'clock position.
- Compress the plunger into the body and lock the left timing chain tensioner by inserting EN-52234 Timing Chain Tensioner Retaining Pins or 1/8" drill bit into the access hole in the side of the left timing chain tensioner body.
- Slowly release pressure on the left timing chain tensioner. The left timing chain tensioner should remain compressed.
