107. Camshaft Position Actuator Installation - Right Side Intake

Camshaft Position Actuator Installation - Right Side Intake




1. Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed. Observe the body of the camshaft position actuator for the "IN" marking (3). The marking is for an intake camshaft position actuator.





Caution: Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed in the correct position. Failure to install the proper camshaft position actuator can effect engine performance and set an engine code.

2. Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is being installed. The reluctor wheel on the right intake camshaft position actuator (1) is indexed in a different position compared to the left intake camshaft position actuator (2).




3. On the right intake camshaft actuator the edge of the reluctor wheel (1) lines up with the valley (2) of the sprocket tooth.




4. Ensure the proper timing mark is used. Observe the outer ring of the camshaft position actuator for the triangle marking (2). The triangle marking is for alignment to the highlighted timing chain link on the right side of the engine.

Caution: Refer to Torque Reaction Against Timing Drive Chain Caution (Service Precautions).

5. Use an open wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft in order to prevent camshaft rotation when tightening the camshaft position actuator bolt.





Note: The camshaft position actuator will vary depending on application.

Note: Camshaft thrust washers must be installed on all 2010 applications when servicing the camshaft position actuators. Do not install washers on 2009 applications if they are not already present.

6. Ensure the proper camshaft thrust washer is used. Use a 1.6 mm (0.063 in) thrust washer on applications that have 5 attaching screws on the back side of the camshaft position actuator (1). Use a 1.1 mm (0.043 in) thick thrust washer with yellow speckles on applications that have 4 attaching screws on the back side of the camshaft position actuator (2).




7. Install the thrust washer if applicable (3).
8. Install the right intake camshaft position actuator (2).

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution (Fastener Caution).

9. Install the camshaft position actuator bolt (1) and tighten to 58 Nm (43 lb ft).
