Special Tools:











CAUTION: The magnetic timing wheels (1) must not come in contact with magnets (pickup tools, trays, etc.) or any other strong magnetic field. This will destroy the timing wheels ability to correctly relay camshaft position to the camshaft position sensor.






1. Remove the upper intake manifold and right cylinder head cover Cylinder Head Cover(s) - Removal
2. Remove the LH ignition coils Ignition Coil - Removal
3. Remove the spark plugs.

CAUTION: When aligning timing marks, always rotate engine by turning the crankshaft. Failure to do so will result in valve and/or piston damage.

4. Mount Dial Indicator Set (1) to a stationary point on the engine. Rotate the crankshaft CW to place the number one piston at TDC on the exhaust stroke.





5. The right side cam phaser arrows (3) should point away from each other and the scribe lines (4) should be parallel to the valve cover sealing surface (6) when the number one piston is positioned at TDC on the exhaust stroke.

NOTE: Minor rotation of a camshaft (a few degrees) may be required when installing the camshaft phaser lock.

6. Install the RH Camshaft Phaser Lock (5).
7. Mark the cam chain at the phaser timing marks (1) using a paint pen or equivalent to aid in reassembly.
8. Loosen the exhaust oil control valve (7) and the intake oil control valve (2).
9. Remove the RH Camshaft Phaser Lock (5).





10. Reset the RH cam chain tensioner with the Timing Chain Holder (1) by pushing the holder into place between the cylinder head and the cam chain guide to force the tensioner piston back into the tensioner body. The Timing Chain Holder remains in place while the phasers are removed.
11. Remove the oil control valve (2) and pull the right side exhaust cam phaser off of the camshaft.
12. Remove the oil control valve (3) and pull the right side intake cam phaser off of the camshaft.
