Tighten
Tighten the camshaft bearing cap attaching bolt to 10 N•m (89 lb-in).
- Install the bank 1 cylinder head camshaft position actuators. Refer to "Camshaft Position Actuator Assembly"
in this section.
Bank 2
- Ensure the camshaft sealing rings (1) are in place in the camshaft grooves.
- Select the correct camshaft for the particular installation location. ID markings can be found on the rear end of each camshaft. The ID markings are defined as follows:
-
- a. The first five digits refer to the date and time of production.
-
- b. Digits six through nine refer to engine production code.
- LY7 = Alloytec 190 engine.
-
- c. The last two digits refer to position:
- LI = bank 2 intake.
- LE = bank 2 exhaust.
- RI = bank 1 intake.
- RE = bank 1 exhaust.
- Apply a liberal amount of engine oil to the camshaft journals and the bank 2 cylinder head camshaft carriers.
- Position the camshafts (1) on the cylinder head and assemble the camshaft actuators to the camshafts.
Note : Install the camshaft position actuator bolts but do not tighten at this stage.
- Ensure the camshaft lobes are in the neutral position with the flats on the back of the camshafts up and parallel (1) with the bank 2 cylinder head cylinder head cover rail.
- Ensure the marks on the bank 2 exhaust camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the disassemble operation are aligned.
- Ensure the marks on the bank 2 intake camshaft position actuator and timing chain, made prior to the disassemble operation are aligned.
- Observe the markings on the bank 2 cylinder head camshaft bearing caps. Each bearing cap is marked (1) to identify its location. The markings have the following meanings:
- The raised feature must always be oriented toward the center of the cylinder head.
- The I indicates the intake camshaft.
- The E indicates the exhaust camshaft.
- The number 2, 4, 6 indicates the cylinder position from the front of the engine.
- Apply a liberal amount of engine oil to the camshaft bearing caps.
- Install the camshaft bearing thrust cap (1) in the first journal of the bank 2 cylinder head.
- Install the remaining bearing caps (2) with their orientation mark toward the center of the cylinder head.
- Hand starts all the camshaft bearing cap bolts (3).
- Install the camshaft bearing cap bolts.
