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, left ignition coils and left cylinder head cover Cylinder Head Cover(s) - Removal
2. Remove the right ignition coils and all spark plugs . Spark Plug - Removal

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

3. Mount Dial Indicator Set (1) to a stationary point on the engine. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise to place the number one piston at top-dead-center on the exhaust stroke.





4. The left side cam phaser arrows (2) should point toward each other and be parallel to the valve cover sealing surface (5) when the number one piston is positioned at top-dead-center on the exhaust stroke.

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

5. Install the LH (10202-2) (4).
6. Mark the cam chain at the phaser timing marks (1) using a paint pen or equivalent to aid in reassembly.
7. Loosen the intake oil control valve (6) and the exhaust oil control valve (2).
8. Remove the LH (10202-2) (4).






NOTE: Graphic shows engine timing cover removed for clarity.

9. Using (10200-3) (2), lift the pawl off of the rack (3). While holding the pawl off of the rack, push (10200-1) (1) into place between the cylinder head and the cam chain guide to force the rack and piston back into the tensioner body. The holder remains in place while the phasers are removed Service and Repair





10. Remove the oil control valve (4) and pull the left side exhaust cam phaser off of the camshaft.
11. Remove the oil control valve (3) and pull the left side intake cam phaser off of the camshaft.
