Camshaft Position Actuator Replacement - Bank 2

Special Tools

EN-48313 Timing Chain Retention Tool

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools

1. Remove the intake manifold. Refer to Inlet Manifold Replacement
2. Remove the left camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement - Left Side .
3. Remove the left intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors. Refer to Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Intake and Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust .
4. Remove the left intake and exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoids. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Intake and Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust .

Note: Rotate the crankshaft balancer bolt in a clockwise direction ONLY.

5. Rotate the crankshaft balancer using the balancer bolt until the camshafts are in a neutral (low tension) position. The camshafts will be parallel with the camshaft cover rail (1).




Note: Ensure that the camshaft timing chain and the camshaft position actuators are marked for proper assembly.

6. Use a paint stick to create an alignment mark on one of the timing chain links (2) and the adjacent tooth on the exhaust camshaft position actuator (1).
7. Use a paint stick to create an alignment mark on one of the timing chain links (3) and the adjacent tooth on the intake camshaft position actuator (4).

Caution: Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Caution in the Preface section.

8. Use an open end wrench on the hex cast into the left intake and exhaust camshafts and rotate the camshafts toward each other in order to create slack in the chain between the actuators.



9. Unscrew the EN-48313 tool so that the legs of the tool are retracted.
10. Insert the EN-48313 tool between the camshaft actuators, rearward of the timing chain until the bottom line that is scribed in the body of the tool (2) is adjacent to the top surface of the cylinder head (1). This is the approximate installed position.




Note: The engine front cover is removed for clarity in the following graphics, but NOT required to perform the procedure.

11. Ensure that the feet (4) on the legs of the tool are facing the front of the engine.
12. Partially expand the legs (1, 3) of the EN-48313 tool by turning the T-shaped handle clockwise.
13. Insert the leg of the tool (1) behind the timing chain guide (2).
14. Continue expanding the EN-48313 tool until the legs (1, 3) contact the timing chain. Do not tighten at this time.




Note: Ensure that the foot (1) of the EN-48313 tool is engaged into one of the link pockets to prevent tool slippage during tightening of the EN-48313 tool .

15. Hand-tighten the EN-48313 tool .
16. Use an open end wrench on the hex cast into the left intake and exhaust camshafts and rotate the camshafts toward each other in order to create slack in the chain between the actuators.



17. The EN-48313 tool is now properly installed to hold the timing chain in position.



18. Use an open ended wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft in order to prevent engine rotation when loosening the camshaft position actuator bolt.
19. If replacing the exhaust camshaft position actuator, then remove the bolt and the actuator.
20. If replacing the intake camshaft position actuator, then remove the bolt and the actuator.
21. If removing both the exhaust and intake camshaft actuators, the timing chain can be draped over the EN-48313 tool once the actuators have been removed.
22. Rotate the actuator in order to align the opening in the actuator reluctor wheel with the cam sensor boss in the front cover, to allow actuator removal.
23. Remove the camshaft thrust washer.

Note: Ensure that the camshaft timing chain and the camshaft position actuators are marked for proper assembly.

1. Align the exhaust camshaft actuator alignment mark (1) to the timing chain alignment mark (2) made during disassembly.
2. Ensure that the intake camshaft actuator alignment mark (4) and the timing chain alignment mark (3) are also aligned.
3. Position the exhaust camshaft actuator to the camshaft and install the actuator bolt hand tight.
4. Remove the EN-48313 tool .




Note: 

•	The camshaft position actuator will vary depending on application.

•	Camshaft thrust washers must be installed on all 2010 applications when servicing the camshaft position actuators. Do not install washers on 2009 applications if they are not already present.

5. Ensure the proper camshaft thrust washer is used. Use a 1.6 mm (0.063 in) thrust washer on applications that have 5 attaching screws on the rear side of the camshaft position actuator (1). Use a 1.1 mm (0.043 in) thick thrust washer with yellow speckles on applications that have 4 attaching screws on the rear side of the camshaft position actuator (2).
6. Install the thrust washer, if applicable.

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.




7. If the exhaust camshaft position actuator has been replaced, then tighten the bolt to 58 N·m (43 lb ft).
8. If the intake camshaft position actuator has been replaced, then tighten the bolt to 58 N·m (43 lb ft).
9. If both the exhaust and intake have been replaced, then tighten bolt to 58 N·m (43 lb ft).
10. Install the left intake and exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoids. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Intake and Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust .
11. Install the left intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors. Refer to Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Intake and Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank 2 (Left Side) Exhaust .
12. Install the left camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement - Left Side .
13. Install the inlet manifold. Refer to Inlet Manifold Replacement .
