Excellent video, I just have one question: what position are the cams in? I have a problem with a Cadillac SRX, I can't put it in time and I would like to try this method. Thanks for your help
hi mate. When set the crankshaft according to sprocket marks to oil pump - second position, piston 1 not match to top of dead center. Also piston 2 not exactly match to TDC. I am sure for it, if set the engine timing then your piston 1 must be show TDC. Can be say it, GM timing tools and crankshaft marks not will shown to Piston 1 TDC. Anyone help me?
This is you tube at it's finest. Why show the wrong information. You have to set bank one chain first then you skip the process to show you have to turn the engind slightly to set the bank two chain.
So you have the flats of all 4 cams up? Preferably with the locking tools? If you can do it this way why do people cycle through the stages? I didnt think about the 2nd stage chain doesnt care where the colored links were but they still seem to line up with the marks.
Basically stage 1= left side camshafts relaxed. stage 2=right side camshafts relaxed. Follow the stages if you don’t have the locking tools. The stages are used so the camshafts don’t spring while removing the chains on each bank
