I got my cams locked in place. I’m trying to put that camshaft bolt in to lock the camshaft in place and it won’t go in. I got piston 1 TDC and still won’t go. Do I need to have that in to tighten down my cams?
Question: My intake cam is set flat for the cam locking tool, but I have to twist my exhaust cam a little bit clockwise to fit the tool in the rear slot. This opens up the exhaust valves slightly on cylinder #2, is this normal?? I have my old head and a rebuilt head, it’s the same. Also, since we took the cam phasers off, how do we set them? I can’t see any marks showing which position they should be in. Mine have numbers 1 and 2 showing on the face, I think 1 is for the intake side…?
what I'm not understanding is it looks like it duesnt matter where the exhaust cam gear is turned? i see a slot on both and i see the intake ones at 12 o clock. is the other at 6 o clock? or does it not matter on ether cam how the sprocket assembly is turned on ether of the cams?
I see the same thing, I can’t figure out what position to set the cam phasers. The top of the left sprocket or VVT phaser has a notch in it, the exhaust sprocket isn’t showing a notch. Which way should the phasers be installed when replacing them?
It tightens the chain and puts all the slack to the tensioner side where it needs to be. If you skip this step you would have a cam/crank correlation code.
