Removal Procedure
1. Remove the right actuator housing. DO NOT remove the camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoids from the housing.
2. Remove the crankshaft balancer.
3. Important: The secondary timing chain has black links that are used for alignment when the primary and secondary timing gear and chain
assemblies are being installed together. IT IS NOT NECESSARY for the black chain links to be aligned with the camshaft actuator timing marks
when the secondary chain and gear components are being serviced separately.
Using the J 39946, rotate the crankshaft until both bank 1 (right) CMP actuator timing marks are perpendicular (90°) to the cylinder head deck
surface and near the top of their rotation.
4. Caution: Refer to Camshaft Holding Tool Caution in Service Precautions.
Install the EN 46328 (1) to the camshafts (2).
