5. NOTE: The oil pump intermediate shaft should be removed with the synchronizer assembly. If the shaft does not come out with the assembly,
retrieve the shaft before proceeding.
Remove the camshaft synchronizer:
1
Remove the bolt.
2
Remove the camshaft synchronizer.
INSTALLATION
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 stroke on the No. 1 cylinder.
1. CAUTION: The special tool must be used during the installation of the 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 the notch in the camshaft synchronizer housing and 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 upon engine start-up.
NOTE:
-
If a new camshaft synchronizer is used, transfer the oil pump shaft to the new camshaft synchronizer.
-
During installation, the arrow on the special tool will rotate clockwise until 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 center line of the engine.
