Title: How to realign camshaft and sprockets (3.0 v6)?
Post by: chrisdb on 17 February 2009, 20:43:16
Hi all

I'm putting back my camshafts (left hand pass side). I did not note the orientation when I took them off. How can I tell which way each sprocket fits on to the camshafts? :-?

There should be a nipple on the end of the Cams, which locates into the Cam Pulley Wheel. Number 1 & 2 (drivers side) only have one cut in the Cam Pulley Wheel, numbers 3 & 4 two cuts each, you will see if you look into the Cam Pulley Wheel the numbers 3 & 4 on each, the left cut being 3, the right cut being 4. hope this makes sense :y

Notch on edge to line up with the marks on the top of the casing and crank mark lines up with mark on casing in 6 o'clock position

I think I understood it :), but I am ok with the pulley to cam as I noted wich ones came from where - what I am not sure about, is for each pulley, how do I know if it's on right or out by 180 degrees?

Because there is only one number 1, and only one number 2 stamped on them, if you locate the nipple into the whole happy days. Make sure your crank is turned 60 degrees before TDC before putting all the cams back on.
