- Remove the lower intake manifold. Refer to
Lower Intake Manifold Replacement
.
- Remove the camshaft cover. Refer to
Camshaft Cover Replacement - Right Side
.
- Remove the camshaft sensors. Refer to
Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust
and
Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake
.
- Remove the intake camshaft position actuator solenoid. Refer to
Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake
.
- Remove the crankshaft balancer. Refer to
Crankshaft Balancer Replacement
.
- Rotate the crankshaft with the
EN 46111
until the camshafts
are in a neutral (low tension) position. The camshaft flats will be parallel with the camshaft cover rail (1).
Notice: Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Notice in the Preface section.
Important:
• | Use an open-end wrench at the camshaft hex to prevent camshaft/engine rotation. |
• | DO NOT remove the camshaft position actuator bolt at this time. |
- Loosen the camshaft position actuator bolt.
- Unscrew the
EN-48313
so the legs of the tool are retracted.
- Insert the
EN-48313
between the camshaft actuators, rearward of the timing chain until the top line that is scribed in the body of the tool (1) is adjacent to the top surface of the cylinder
head (2). This is the approximate installed position.
Important: The engine front cover is removed for clarity in the following graphics, but NOT required to perform the procedure.
- Ensure that the feet (2) on the legs of the tool are facing the front of the engine.
- Partially expand the legs (1) of the
EN-48313
by turning the T-shaped handle clockwise.
- Continue expanding the
EN-48313
until the feet (2) contact the timing chain. Do not tighten at this time.
Important:
• | Ensure that the foot (1) of the
EN-48313
is engaged into one of the link pockets to prevent chain slippage during tightening of the
EN-48313
. |
• | Do not allow the body of the
EN-48313
to rotate when tightening the T-handle. |
- Hand tighten the
EN-48313
.
Notice: Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Notice in the Preface section.
- Use an open end wrench on the hex cast into the body of the
EN-48313
and hand tighten the T-handle.
Notice: Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Notice in the Preface section.
- Use an open end wrench on the hex cast into the right intake and exhaust camshafts and rotate the camshafts towards each other in order to create slack in the chain between the actuators.
- The
EN-48313
is now properly installed to hold the timing chain in position.
Important: Ensure that the camshaft timing chain and the camshaft position actuators are marked for proper assembly.
- Mark the timing chain and the respective locations on camshaft position actuators (15-18).
- Remove the camshaft position actuator bolt.
- Remove the camshaft bearing caps and the camshaft. Refer to
Camshaft Removal - Right Side
