WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 GMC Yukon and 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Lubricate the camshaft journals and the bearings with clean engine oil.
- Install the camshaft sprocket bolt into the camshaft front bolt hole.
- Using the bolt as a handle, carefully install the camshaft into the engine block.
- Remove the bolt from the front of the camshaft.
- Install the camshaft retainer (203) and the bolts (204). Install the retainer with the sealing gasket facing the front of the engine block.
- Tighten the camshaft retainer TORX® head bolts.
Tighten: Tighten the bolts to 15 N.m (11 lb ft).
IMPORTANT:
If camshaft replacement is required, the valve lifters must also be replaced.
NOTE:
All camshaft journals are the same diameter, so care must be used in removing or installing the camshaft to avoid damage to the camshaft bearings.
IMPORTANT:
The gasket surface on the engine block should be clean and free of dirt or debris.
NOTE:
