  6. Loosen and back off the left camshaft bolt 1 full turn.
    CAUTION
    If servicing both camshafts, do not rotate the crankshaft. Camshaft position has been established in the proper step in this procedure.


    NOTE
    If the camshaft lobes are not exactly positioned as shown, the crankshaft keyway will require one full additional rotation to 12 o'clock. Do not rotate the crankshaft if servicing both camshafts.
  7. The No. 6 cylinder camshaft exhaust lobe must be coming up on the exhaust stroke. Verify by noting the position of the 2 intake camshaft lobes and the exhaust lobe on the No. 6 cylinder.

  8. Remove only the 3 roller followers shown in the illustration.
    WARNING
    Do not allow the valve keepers to fall off the valve or the valve may drop into the cylinder.


    NOTE
    The camshaft roller followers must be installed in their original locations. Record camshaft roller follower locations.


    NOTE
    It may be necessary to push the valve down while compressing the spring.

    NOTE
    The camshaft bearing caps must be installed in their original locations. Record camshaft bearing cap locations.
  13. Remove the bolts in the sequence shown and remove the front camshaft bearing cap and then the remaining bearing caps.
  14. Clean and inspect the left camshaft bearing caps. The camshaft front thrust bearing cap contains an oil metering groove. Make sure the groove is free of foreign material.
    WARNING
    Damage to the camshaft phaser sprocket assembly will occur if mishandled or used as a lifting or leveraging device.


    WARNING
    Only use hand tools to remove the camshaft phaser sprocket bolt or damage may occur to the camshaft or camshaft phaser unit.


    WARNING
    Do not remove the timing chain wedge tool at any time during assembly. If the special tool is removed or out of placement, the engine front cover must be removed and the engine must be retimed.

To install:
  1. Lubricate the camshaft and camshaft journals with clean engine oil.
    WARNING
    Do not remove the timing chain wedge tool at any time during assembly. If the special tool is removed or out of placement, the engine front cover must be removed and the engine must be retimed.


    WARNING
    Damage to the camshaft phaser sprocket assembly will occur if mishandled or used as a lifting or leveraging device.

  2. Install the camshaft into the camshaft phaser sprocket assembly and onto the head.
  3. Install a new camshaft phaser bolt finger tight.
    WARNING
    Do not remove the timing chain wedge tool at any time during assembly. If the special tool is removed or out of placement, the engine front cover must be removed and the engine must be retimed.


    WARNING
    The timing chain must be installed in its original position onto the camshaft phaser sprocket using the scribed marks, or damage to valves and pistons will result. Verify the camshaft phaser sprocket and timing chain scribe marks are still in alignment.


    WARNING
    Do not allow the roller followers to move out of position when installing the camshaft.
  4. Lubricate the camshaft bearing caps with clean engine oil.
  5. Position the front camshaft bearing cap.
  6. Position the remaining camshaft bearing caps.
  7. Install the bolts loosely.
  8. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown. Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).
  9. Remove the special tools.
  10. Rotate the crankshaft a half turn counterclockwise and position the crankshaft damper spoke at the 12 o'clock position and the timing mark indentation at the 1 o'clock position.
  11. Verify correct cam position by noting the position of the number 5 cylinder intake and exhaust camshaft lobes.
  12. Using the special tool, install the 3 originally removed roller followers.
  13. Install the CMP sensor and the bolt.
  14. Connect the CMP electrical connector.
    WARNING
    Only use hand tools to install the camshaft phaser sprocket assembly or damage may occur to the camshaft or camshaft phaser unit.
