- NOTE:
Rotate the engine using the crankshaft balancer until the locking pins of the EN-52462-A Camshaft Alignment Tool (1) drop into the slots in the camshafts.
EN-52462-A Camshaft Alignment Tool (1) - Install
- Insert the bolt (2) of the EN-52462-A Camshaft Alignment Tool (1) into the camshaft carrier and tighten to secure the tool to the camshaft carrier.
Lock the EN-52462-A Camshaft Alignment Tool (1) by rotating the levers in direction of arrow.
- Raise the vehicle.
- NOTE:
The timing pin (3) is installed into the flexplate for engine timing procedures, it can be damaged if torque is applied to the flexplate with the timing pin engaged. The pin must be placed in the retracted position before torque is applied to the flexplate.
Install the EN-52476 Flywheel Lock and Alignment Tool (2) through the starter mounting hole.
- Lower the vehicle.
Mark both actuator sprockets (1), timing chain, and the camshaft housing cover from the center of the bolt upward as shown with a paint marker or equivalent to help with installation.
Install the EN-52461 Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool (2) to the 2 EN-52461 - 100 Adapter Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool (3).
- Hand tighten the 2 bolts (1, 4) of EN-52461 Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool.
Install the EN-52461 Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool (5) along with the 2 EN-52461 - 100 Adapter Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool (2, 3) to the camshaft carrier.
- Tighten the 2 bolts (1, 4) of EN-52461 - 100 Adapter Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool.
- Tighten the 2 bolts from the EN-52461 Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool to the 2 EN-52461 Cam Phaser Torque Reaction Tool that were hand tightened.
Install the EN-52461 - 1 Holder (1) to the holes in the camshaft sprocket.
- Check that the EN-52461 - 1 Holder (1) sits correctly in the hole of the camshaft sprocket.
- Take tension off the actuator that is required for the specific camshaft sprocket bolt that is being replaced and to loosen the tension of the timing chain.
- Turn the exhaust side counter clockwise to 6 N.m (53 lb in) and tighten bolt (3) just enough to hold the EN-52461 - 1 Holder in place.
NOTE:Only do the exhaust side.
Install the EN-52436 Timing Chain Tensioner Retention Tool (1) at the timing chain (2) down far enough to hold pressure against the tensioner to hold it in place.
- NOTE:
Only do the exhaust side.
