Removal Procedure
- Remove the left exhaust camshaft actuator. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust .
- Remove the intake camshaft position actuator bolt.
- Remove the left intake camshaft position actuator.
Installation Procedure
- Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed. Observe the body of the camshaft position actuator for the IN marking (3).
- Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is being installed. The reluctor wheel on the right intake camshaft position actuator (1) is indexed in a different position compared to the left intake camshaft position actuator (2).
- On the left intake camshaft actuator the edge of the reluctor wheel (1) lines up with the peak (2) of the sprocket tooth.
- Ensure the proper timing mark is used. Observe the outer ring of the camshaft position actuator for the circle marking (1).
- Use an open wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft in order to prevent camshaft rotation when tightening the camshaft position actuator bolt.
- Locate the intake camshaft position actuator to the camshaft and loosely install the bolt.
- Tighten the camshaft position actuator bolt. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Installation - Left Side Intake .
- Install the left exhaust camshaft actuator. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust .
The marking is for an intake camshaft position actuator.
Notice: Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed in the correct position. Failure to install the proper camshaft position actuator can effect engine performance and set an engine code.
The circle marking is for alignment to the highlighted timing chain link on the left side of the engine.
Notice: Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Notice in the Preface section.
Notice: Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Notice in the Preface section.
