Hi, if you do not have the proper tools for this, I am not sure what to tell you.
Tools required:
†J 44221 Camshaft Holding Tool.
†J 36660-A Torque/Angle Meter.
†Install J 44221 with the camshaft flats up and the number one cylinder at top dead center.
†Compress the tensioner and lock in place.
†Install the crankshaft sprocket.
†Install the intake camshaft sprocket into the timing chain.
†Align the (dark) link of the timing chain with the timing mark on the intake camshaft sprocket (1).
†Feed the timing chain down through the opening in the head.
†Install the timing chain onto the crankshaft sprocket. Align the (dark) link of the timing chain with the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket (2).
Important
It may be necessary to remove J 44221 to rotate and hold the camshaft (hex) to align the pin to the camshaft sprocket.
†Install the intake camshaft sprocket onto the intake camshaft.
Caution!
Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
†Install the intake camshaft sprocket washer and new bolt.
Tighten
†Tighten the new intake camshaft sprocket bolt the first pass to 20 N m (15 lb ft).
†Use J 36660-A to tighten the intake camshaft sprocket bolt the final pass an additional 100 degrees.
†Install the exhaust camshaft actuator into the timing chain.
†Align the (dark) link of the timing chain with the timing mark on the exhaust camshaft actuator (1).
Important
It may be necessary to remove J 44221 to rotate and hold the camshaft (hex) to align the pin to the camshaft sprocket.
†Install the exhaust camshaft actuator onto the exhaust camshaft.
Caution!
The camshaft actuator must be fully advanced during installation. Engine damage may occur if the camshaft actuator is not fully advanced.
†Install the new exhaust camshaft actuator bolt.
Tighten
†Tighten the new exhaust camshaft actuator bolt the first pass to 25 N m (18 lb ft).
†Use J 36660-A to tighten the exhaust camshaft actuator bolt the final pass an additional 135 degrees.
†Unlock the tensioner.
†Remove J 44221.
Important
Rotate the camshaft actuator clockwise relative to the camshaft prior to tightening the bolt.
†Rotate the camshaft actuator clockwise (as seen from the front of the vehicle).
†The dark links (1) on the chain should be aligned with marks on sprockets as shown.
†Install the top chain guide.
†Add threadlock GM P/N United States 12345498, GM P/N Canada 10953488 to the top chain guide bolt threads.
†Install the top chain guide bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the top chain guide bolts to 10 NÂ m ( 89 lb in).
