Important: Any time the camshaft housing to the cylinder head bolts are loosened
or removed, the camshaft housing to the cylinder head gasket must be replaced.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to
Caution: Unless directed otherwise, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position, and all electrical loads must be OFF before servicing
any electrical component. Disconnect the negative battery cable to prevent an electrical spark should a tool or equipment come in contact with an exposed electrical terminal. Failure to follow these precautions may result in personal injury and/or damage to

in General Information.
- Disconnect the ignition coil and module assembly electrical connections.
- Remove the ignition coil and module assembly to the camshaft housing
bolts. Remove the assembly by pulling straight up. Use the J 36011
in order to remove the connector assembly
if it is stuck to the spark plugs. Use the tool by first twisting then pulling
up on the connector assembly.
- Remove the camshaft position sensor connector.
- Remove the power steering pump. Refer to SECTION 3B1.
- Disconnect the vacuum line from the fuel pressure regulator and
the fuel injector harness connector.

Notice: Turn the camshaft housing upside down as soon as it is removed from
the cylinder head. The lifters will fall out of the camshaft housing if it
is not turned upside down. the lifters can be damaged if they
fall out and hit a hard surface.
Important: Use the reverse of the tightening procedure when loosening the camshaft
housing to the cylinder head retaining bolts.
- Remove the camshaft housing.
- Remove the camshaft housing gasket.

.
- Disassemble the following components:
• | The valve spring seat (exhaust) |
- Assemble the following components:
• | The valve spring seat (exhaust) |
• | A new, clean and dry valve seal. Push the seal on by hand in order
to ensure that the seal is fully seated. |
• | The spring and retainer. Use the J 5892-D
, and the J 36588
in order to compress the valve spring. |
- Inspect for proper valve key seating.
Installation Procedure
- Remove air line adapter.
- Install the spark plug.
Notice: Carefully roll the camshaft housing right side up as it is installed
onto the cylinder head. The lifters can be damaged if they fall
out and hit a hard surface.
- Install the camshaft housing.
- Install the camshaft housing gasket.
- Apply Pipe Sealant GM P/N 1052080 or equivalent to the camshaft
housing retaining bolt threads.
- Install the camshaft housing bolts.
- Using the J 36660-A
,
install the bolts in sequence.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 15 N·m (11 lb ft) +
90 degrees.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners
must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring
replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant
are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or
corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified.
These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage
the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when
installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
- Install the timing chain housing and the timing chain. Refer to
Timing Chain Housing Replacement
.
- Uncover the fuel injectors.
- Install new injector O ring seals.
Lubricate the O ring seals with engine oil.
- Uncover the injector openings in the cylinder head and install
the fuel rail onto the cylinder head.
- Install the fuel rail to the camshaft housing bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 26 N·m (19 lb ft).
- Connect the fuel line retaining clamp and the retainer to the
bracket on top of the camshaft housing.
- Connect the vacuum line to the fuel pressure regulator.
- Install the fuel injector harness connector.
- Install the camshaft position sensor connector.
Important: When reinstalling the power steering pump, apply a 3 mm bead
of GM P/N 12346286 sealer or equivalent to the joint at the end of the camshaft
housing halves before installation of the power steering pump and the pump
face seal.
- Install the power steering pump assembly. Refer to SECTION 3B1.
- Reinstall any spark plug boot connector assembly that stuck to
a spark plug back onto the ignition coil and module assembly.
- Place the ignition coil and module assembly over the spark plugs
and push straight down.
- Clean any lubricant that is present on the ignition coil and module
assembly to the camshaft housing bolts.
- Apply Pipe Sealant GM P/N 1052080 or equivalent onto the ignition coil
and module cover assembly to the camshaft housing bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 15 N·m (11 lb ft) +
30 degrees.
- Connect the electrical connector to the ignition coil and module
assembly.
- Connect the negative battery cable.
