Camshaft Position Actuator Installation - Left Side Intake

Camshaft Position Actuator Installation - Left Side Intake





1. Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed. Observe the body of the camshaft position actuator for the "IN" marking (3). The marking is for an intake camshaft position actuator.





Caution:
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.

2. 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).





3. On the left intake camshaft actuator the edge of the reluctor wheel (1) lines up with the peak (2) of the sprocket tooth.





4. Ensure the proper timing mark is used. Observe the outer ring of the camshaft position actuator for the circle marking (1). The circle marking is for alignment to the highlighted timing chain link on the left side of the engine.

Caution:
Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Caution Service Precautions.

5. Use an open wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft in order to prevent camshaft rotation when tightening the camshaft position actuator bolt.





6. Apply a liberal amount of lubricant to the back of the camshaft position actuator (1) and front of the camshaft bearing cap (2). Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers for recommended lubricant.





7. Install the left intake camshaft position actuator (2).

Caution:
Refer to Fastener Caution Fastener Caution.

8. Install the camshaft position actuator bolt (1) and tighten to 58 Nm (43 lb ft).
