Question: My intake cam is set flat for the cam locking tool, but I have to twist my exhaust cam a little bit clockwise to fit the tool in the rear slot. This opens up the exhaust valves slightly on cylinder #2, is this normal?? I have my old head and a rebuilt head, it’s the same. Also, since we took the cam phasers off, how do we set them? I can’t see any marks showing which position they should be in. Mine have numbers 1 and 2 showing on the face, I think 1 is for the intake side…?
what I'm not understanding is it looks like it duesnt matter where the exhaust cam gear is turned? i see a slot on both and i see the intake ones at 12 o clock. is the other at 6 o clock? or does it not matter on ether cam how the sprocket assembly is turned on ether of the cams?
I see the same thing, I can’t figure out what position to set the cam phasers. The top of the left sprocket or VVT phaser has a notch in it, the exhaust sprocket isn’t showing a notch. Which way should the phasers be installed when replacing them?
I got my cams locked in place. I’m trying to put that camshaft bolt in to lock the camshaft in place and it won’t go in. I got piston 1 TDC and still won’t go. Do I need to have that in to tighten down my cams?
It tightens the chain and puts all the slack to the tensioner side where it needs to be. If you skip this step you would have a cam/crank correlation code.
Wow... Literally you did this job single handed and not a torque wrench nor sealant in sight. Amazing..
Thanks bro
This has two different alignment marks in every sprocket, I will put it like the position that you used and I will try it, tanks for share it!
Yes same the one I put
Sorry for delayed
Straight and to the point.
Thank You
You’re welcome
Awesome video, this helped a lot
Thanks a lot
It appears that lock bar is at a different position at the end than it was at the beginning of video.
No it should be straight for both camshaft
Thanks for teaching me.. any hint without the special tools? Thanks again
Yeah need special tools for that
Best video. Ty
Thanks bro

Hi, sorry for delay, you need just put the tool in faser and tool from the back of camshaft, and also another tool goes to the crankshaft.
Thanks very helpful.

No the camshaft should set by a tool alignment

You need first piston up on and install tool in the back of camshaft, and there’s another tool to be installed in front faser
What is the point of the tool.to hold cam gear? It only holds one and has no specific spot
Yes there’s a tool to hold the gear , I showed it in the video, make sure don’t open the gear you don’t have too
If you didn’t not open the gear you don’t need the tool for cam gear . Just the one goes for back of the cam shaft .
It tightens the chain and puts all the slack to the tensioner side where it needs to be. If you skip this step you would have a cam/crank correlation code.
When u put the pin in the crank is the piston #1 all the way up or down ?
Yes # 1 up
Muchas gracias
Thanks

The vvt is Not Important How to Set them? Only the Signal Circle?
No it’s not
