Recently had a guy change rockers and lifters on my rear cylinder RH. After he returned the car to me, I had a rough ticking and metal rubbing sound. I took the valve cover off and found the exhaust camshaft was destroyed. It was as if no oil was added to the camshaft when he put it back together. Two of the three bearings were fried from friction of metal on metal with no oil. They were bone dry. SO... I took it upon myself to buy a used cylinder head to replace that one. Took the upper half of the engine apart. Pulled the front head off as well and thoroughly cleaned both heads till they were looking new. Pulled every lifter and rocker and oiled every part I could. Put the current timing chain back on, per repair manual instructions. After getting the car back together and running smooth, idle, I went on a test drive. No, I started getting codes:
-P0011 Intake Camshaft Position System Performance
-P0014 Exhaust Camsgaft Position System Performance
-P0021 Camshaft Position Control
-P0024 Camshaft Position Control
Along with these also getting Stabil Trak failure.
I pulled the solenoids out and double checked them for sludge or obstruction on the screens. They were clean.
Now I’m back to getting these codes again and a tick/knock sound. Fresh oil and filter. (Oil feels a little thin on the dipstick to me)
I’m stuck.
