Camshaft Removal Preparation

Prepare a clean work area and assemble the tools needed for the camshaft installation. It is suggested to

use an automotive manual to help determine which items must be removed from the engine in order to

expose, remove, and reinstall the timing chains, camshaft actuators/phasers, and camshafts. A good,

complete automotive manual will save time and frustration during the installation.

4. Unplug the coils and loosen the bolt holding them into the valve cover, pull the coils out. Then remove

the Variable Cam Timing (VCT) actuator electrical connectors from both banks of the engine.

Line the single link up with the timing mark on the back of the Exhaust phaser. The exhaust phaser has the large outer gear on it that connects to the main chain. Next line the timing mark on the Intake phaser between the two marked links on the chain that are beside each other. (See Fig. H) Fig. H 21.
