    NOTE:

    The alignment mark on the camshaft position actuator and the alignment mark on the crankshaft sprocket 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.

    The camshaft and the crankshaft sprocket alignment marks MUST be aligned properly.

  64. GM4976416Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

    If the alignment marks on the camshaft position actuator and crankshaft sprocket 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 (a). Mark the gear tooth directly opposite of the alignment mark on the crankshaft sprocket (b).

  65. GM4976417Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

    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.

  66. GM5028543Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
    NOTE:
    • Properly locate the camshaft position actuator onto the locating pin of the camshaft.
    • 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.

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

  67. GM5028535Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

    Install the camshaft position actuator and timing chain. 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 in order to align the timing marks. Use care to install the actuator 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.

  68. GM5001788Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY
    CAUTION:

    This vehicle is equipped with torque-to-yield or single use fasteners. Install a NEW torque-to-yield or single use fastener when installing this component. Failure to replace the torque-to-yield or single use fastener could cause damage to the vehicle or component.

    NOTE:

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

    Locate a straight edge (1) across the front face of the engine block and inspect for proper installation of the camshaft position actuator (2) and timing chain (3). With the camshaft position actuator properly and completely installed onto the front of camshaft, the timing chain will not protrude beyond the front face of engine block.

  70. GM4976414Courtesy of GENERAL MOTORS COMPANY

    Inspect the sprockets for proper alignment. The mark on the camshaft position actuator sprocket (1) should be located in the 6 o'clock position and the mark on the crankshaft sprocket (2) should be located in the 12 o'clock position.
