    NOTE:
    • Properly locate the CMP actuator onto the locating pin of the camshaft.
    • The sprocket teeth and timing chain must mesh
    • The camshaft and the sprocket alignment marks MUST be aligned properly.
    • Do not use the CMP solenoid valve again. Install a NEW valve during assembly.

    Identify the alignment hole (1) in the rear face of the CMP actuator and the locating pin (2) on the front face of the camshaft.

    NOTE:

    Use care to install the actuator completely onto the front of the camshaft. Never push on the reluctor wheel when attempting to install the actuator.

    Install the CMP actuator and timing chain (1).

    NOTE:

    It is possible to push the camshaft rearward when installing the CMP actuator. Verify that the camshaft lobes are centered in the valve lifter bores after the CMP actuator is installed.

    Locate a straight edge (1) across the front face of the engine block and inspect for proper installation of the CMP actuator and timing chain. With the CMP actuator properly and completely installed onto the front of the camshaft, the timing chain (2) will not protrude beyond the front face of the engine block.

    NOTE:

    If plastic shim is not available, a 1.1 mm (0.04 in) size shim will need to be placed between the balancer chain and guide during installation.

    Install the balancer chain guide with shim (2) and bolts (1).

  22. Balance Shaft Retainer Bolt - Install and tighten [2x] 10 N.m (89 lb in)
  23. GM3020772Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

    Remove the EN-46330  tension pin (1).

  24. tighten the balance shaft driven gear bolt (3) to 58 N.m (43 lb ft).
  25. tighten the idler sprocket bolt (2) to 58 N.m (43 lb ft).
  26. The chain should now be tight. Remove the shim (4) from between the balancer guide and the chain. The chain should now be slightly loose.
