CAMSHAFT
DESCRIPTION
The camshafts consist of powdered metal steel lobes which are sinter-bonded to a steel tube. Four bearing journals
are machined into the camshaft. Camshaft end play is controlled by two thrust walls that border the nose piece
journal.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: When the timing chain is removed and the cylinder heads are still installed, DO NOT forcefully
rotate the camshafts or crankshaft independently of each other. Severe valve and/or piston damage can
occur.
CAUTION: When removing the cam sprocket, timing chains or camshaft, Failure to use Special Tool 8379
will result in hydraulic tensioner ratchet over extension, requiring timing chain cover removal to reset the
tensioner ratchet.
1. Remove cylinder head cover (Refer to 9 - ENGINE/CYLINDER HEAD/CYLINDERHEAD COVER(S) -
REMOVAL).
2. Set engine to TDC cylinder #1, camshaft sprocket
V6 marks at the 12 o’clock position.
3. Mark one link on the secondary timing chain on
both sides of the V6 mark on the camshaft
sprocket to aid in installation.
CAUTION: Do not hold or pry on the camshaft tar-
get wheel (Located on the right side camshaft
sprocket) for any reason, Severe damage will
occur to the target wheel resulting in a vehicle no
start condition.
4. Loosen butDO NOTremove the camshaft sprocket
retaining bolt. Leave the bolt snug against the
sprocket.
NOTE: The timing chain tensioners must be
secured prior to removing the camshaft sprockets.
Failure to secure tensioners will allow the tension-
erstoextend,requiringtimingchaincover
removal in order to reset tensioners.
CAUTION: Do not force wedge past the narrowest point between the chain strands. Damage to the tension-
ers may occur.
5. Position Special Tool 8379 timing chain wedge between the timing chain strands, tap the tool to securely wedge
the timing chain against the tensioner arm and guide.

18. Remove the cylinder head access plug (1,2).
19. Remove the right side secondary chain guide
(Refer to 9 - ENGINE/VALVE TIMING/TIMING
BELT/CHAIN AND SPROCKETS - REMOVAL).
CAUTION: The nut on the right side camshaft
sprocket should not be removed for any reason,
as the sprocket and camshaft sensor target wheel
is serviced as an assembly. If the nut was
removed, torque nut to 5 Nꞏm (44 in. lbs.).
20. Remove the retaining bolt and the camshaft drive
gear.
CAUTION: Do not allow the engine to rotate.
severe damage to the valve train can occur.
CAUTION: Do not overlook the four smaller bolts at the front of the cylinderhead.Donotattempttoremove
the cylinder head without removing these four bolts.
CAUTION: Do not hold or pry on the camshaft target wheel for any reason. A damaged target wheel can
result in a vehicle no start condition.
NOTE: The cylinder head is attached to the cylin-
der block with twelve bolts.
21. Remove the cylinder head retaining bolts.
22. Remove the cylinder head and gasket. Discard
the gasket.
CAUTION: Do not lay the cylinder head on its gas-
ket sealing surface, do to the design of the cylin-
der head gasket any distortion to the cylinder
head sealing surface may prevent the gasket from
properly sealing resulting in leaks.
