    GM5608828Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
    NOTE:

    The alignment mark on the camshaft position actuator (2) and the alignment mark on the crankshaft sprocket (1) are off-center from the oil pump feed hole gasket on the timing chain tensioner. The alignment marks need to be lined up with one another, but NOT with the oil feed hole.

  9. If the alignment marks on the camshaft position actuator (1) and crankshaft sprocket (2) are difficult to see or line up, an alternate method can be used. Mark the gear tooth directly opposite of the alignment mark on the camshaft position actuator. Mark the gear tooth directly opposite of the alignment mark on the crankshaft sprocket.

  10. The timing chain has 30 links. Place links (1) and (30) on either side of the mark made on the camshaft position actuator and place links (15) and (16) on either side of the mark made on the crankshaft sprocket. This will ensure that the factory alignment marks are in the correct position and that the engine is properly timed.

    GM5608839Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
    NOTE:
    • Properly locate the camshaft position actuator (1) onto the locating pin of the camshaft (2).
    • The sprocket teeth and timing chain must mesh.
    • The camshaft and the crankshaft sprocket alignment marks MUST be aligned properly.
    • Do not use the camshaft position solenoid valve again. Install a NEW valve during assembly.
  12. Install the camshaft position actuator (3) and timing chain (1). Align the hole in the rear face of the camshaft position actuator with the locating pin on the front face of the camshaft. If necessary, rotate the camshaft or crankshaft sprockets (2) in order to align the timing marks. Use care to install the actuator (3) completely onto the front of the camshaft. Position fingers onto the face of the actuator sprocket and push the actuator onto the front of the camshaft. Never push on the reluctor wheel when attempting to install the actuator.
