When my crankpin fits all the way in my cams are around 90° off so do i undo the phaser nuts then turn the camshaft into position and then do my timing. My car still starts and drives but it gives me a p0016 code Obviously as the camshaft is out off position. Or do i have to remove my chain to turn them I have replaced chajn and guides ect and timed it but as the cams are out of position its all wrong
I've done it now I lined up the crank pin and inserted that. I then loosened the phaser bolts. Moved each cam around until the plate fitted correctly Installed timing tool Set up timing Tighten bolts (didn't have torque wrench but 1 big turn using the long bar i had was enough as was around the same pressure as when I undone bolts) Removed everything Put car back together and all alarms cleared Now runs perfect and has more power On first start up was a bit lumpy but changed plugs and then settled out how it should be and is perfect now. Maybe ecu had to recalculate everything again
a missed step from other videos: You have to torque the screws on the motor mounts to an angle. The manual also says you are supposed to replace some of the bolts on the motor mount as they are torque to spec and single use only.
Man this is a complicated way to check TDC. What happened to looking at the intake and exhaust lobes for no1 cylinder and if they are sequencing to closed with the dot at zero and the back cam slots lined up your good to go
So I’m thinking about marking a tooth and chain link on both phasers and crank sprocket before removing old chain and then count the links and mark the same links on the new chain before installing to make sure it goes on the right way. Do you think that would work? I don’t think it has jumped any teeth on my motor just the orange guide has broken

I think your gonna leak oil from the oil pan, the bottom of timing chain cover (didn't see you put rtv sealant on it ) maybe you did but i didn't see you do it.

@@shatnersufolanded7785 this has never been true of any timing chain (except maybe on Toyotas). They begin to stretch, just like any chain does, and eventually need replacing before the engine timing advances/retards too far.

96 in lbs ? I have 2016 limited lt. check the torque on timing cover and they were about 71 in lbs. iam afraid i will strip them out.
Was there plastic in the oil pan from the guide
I think your gonna leak oil from the oil pan, the bottom of timing chain cover (didn't see you put rtv sealant on it ) maybe you did but i didn't see you do it.
Screwdriver in top piston will get you every time.
Do you know what the service interval is for the chain? Im coming up on 100k.

Chain should last the life of the motor.

Why not buy the tools to do the job correctly
What ever happened to timing marks???? What a joke this engine is
It's called a chain "GUIDE" NOT CHAIN GLIDE. Come on man you have to do better
