Item 11: Camshaft Synchronizer Installation Note
1. CAUTION:
-
After installation, do not loosen the synchronizer bolt and rotate the synchronizer assembly. The synchronizer assembly is not
adjustable. Do not loosen the synchronizer bolt after the alignment tool has been removed in order to align the CMP electrical
connector for any reason. If the electrical connector is not in the correct position, the synchronizer assembly must be removed, the
alignment tool and the assembly reinstalled if the engine has not been rotated from top dead center (TDC) of the compression on the
No. 1 cylinder.
-
A special tool must be used when installing a synchronizer assembly. Failure to follow this procedure will result in the fuel system
being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.
Install the special tool on the camshaft synchronizer by rotating the tool until it engages both the notch in the camshaft synchronizer housing and
the notch in the armature.
2. CAUTION: It is very important to coat the gear on the camshaft synchronizer with clean engine oil prior to installation. Failure to do so
could result in gear failure.
NOTE: During installation, the arrow on the special tool will rotate clockwise until the oil pump intermediate shaft and camshaft gear engages.
Install the camshaft synchronizer housing assembly so the arrow on the special tool is 54 degrees from the centerline of the engine.
