Special Tools: Click to display a list of tools used in this procedure

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
(Refer to 09 - Engine/Cylinder Head/COVER
(S) , Cylinder Head - Removal)

2. Remove the right ignition coils and all spark

plugs (Refer to 08 - Electrical/8I - Ignition
Control/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 C-3339A (1) to a

stationary point on the engine, such as the
number three cylinder ignition coil mount.
Position the indicator probe into the number
one cylinder, rotate the crankshaft clockwise
(as viewed from the front) to place the
number one cylinder piston at top-deadcenter on the exhaust stroke and set the
indicator dial to zero.

4. The left side cam phaser SCRIBE LINES (3)

should face away from each other and the
ARROWS (1) should point toward each other
and be parallel to the cylinder head cover
mounting surface (2) when the number one
cylinder piston is positioned at top-deadcenter on the exhaust stroke.

NOTE: The cam phaser timing markings

(1 and 3) could align with either
an external or internal chain link.
Either alignment is acceptable as
long as there are twelve chain
pins (2) between the markings.
NOTE: Using a paint pen or equivalent.
Mark the timing chain links to the
corresponding timing marks
located on the cam phasers.

5. There should be twelve chain pins (2) BETWEEN the exhaust cam phaser triangle marking (3) and the
intake cam phaser circle marking (1) as viewed from either the front or rear of the cam phasers.

6. Mark both sides of the cam chain at the phaser timing marks (1 and 3) using a paint pen or equivalent
to aid in reassembly.

NOTE: It may be necessary to rock the

camshaft slightly (a few degrees)
with a wrench (4) when installing
the camshaft phaser lock.

7. Install the Lock, Camshaft/Phaser, Left Side

10202-2 (1) against the cylinder head cover
mounting surface with the tool number facing
up.

8. Loosen, but do not remove, the exhaust oil

control valve (2) and the intake oil control
valve (3).

9. Remove the Lock, Camshaft/Phaser, Left

Side 10202-2 (1).

NOTE: Graphic shows engine timing

cover removed for clarity.

10. Using Pin 10200-3 (2), lift the pawl off of the
rack (3). While holding the pawl off of the
rack, push Holder, Timing Chain, Left Side
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 (Refer to 09 Engine/Valve Timing - Standard Procedure) .

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

12. Remove the oil control valve (3) and pull the
left side intake cam phaser off of the
camshaft.
