Installation Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Ensure that the alignment mark made previously on the intake camshaft actuator is still aligned properly with the mark on the timing chain.
- The exhaust camshaft may need to be rotated clockwise to fully set the camshaft actuator.
- Install the timing chain onto the exhaust camshaft actuator.
- Align the exhaust camshaft actuator alignment mark made previously with the timing chain mark and install the actuator onto the camshaft.
- Install a NEW exhaust camshaft actuator bolt (2) until snug.
- Remove the timing chain retention tool EN-48749 (1) from the exhaust side of the timing chain.
- Reset and install the timing chain tensioner. Refer to Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement .
- Install the intake camshaft actuator retainer (1).
- Install the camshaft actuator retainer bolts and tighten 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Tighten the NEW camshaft actuator bolt to 30 N.m (22 lb ft) plus an additional 100 degrees using the J 45059 . See Special Tools .
- To release the tensioner apply a counterclockwise rotational torque to the crankshaft balancer bolt of 45 N.m (33 lb ft)..
- Remove the camshaft actuator retainer EN-48953 (1).
- Install the upper timing chain guide and bolts and tighten to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
- Install the camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement (LE5) or Camshaft Cover Replacement (LAT) .
- Install the spark plugs. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement .
NOTE:
NOTE:
Ensure that the alignment mark previously on the exhaust camshaft actuator is still aligned properly with the timing chain. If the mark made previously on the intake camshaft actuator is not aligned properly, refer to Camshaft Timing Chain, Sprocket, and Tensioner Replacement .
NOTE:
Failure to reset the tensioner will allow the tensioner to over extend. limiting the timing chain life.
NOTE:
You must have the EN-48953
installed to perform this procedure.
