1. Step 10 Install the ST 100 Timing Chain Locking Wedge in the RH timing chain as shown CAUTION Engine is not freewheeling Camshaft procedure must be followed exactly or damage to valves and pistons will result CAUTION The Timing Chain Wedge tool must be installed square to the timing chain and the engine block Note This is a locking wedge Using excessive force when positioning the wedge tool can result in the need to remove the front cover To avoid this scenario use common sense when setting the wedge in place You should be able to lock the wedge firmly in place by placing one finger through the handle loop and pressing down firmly with just that finger Note Keep the wedge handle lightly oiled while being stored Note Engine front cover removed for clarity Step 11 Scribe index a location mark on the timing chain and the camshaft phaser and sprocket assembly CAUTION Do not remove the Timing Chain Wedge tool at any time during assembly If the special tool is removed or out of placement the engine front cover must be removed and the engine must be retimed CAUTION gt The timing chain must be installed in its original position onto the camshaft phaser and sprocket using the scribed marks or damage to valves and pistons will result A Step 12 Remove the bolts in the sequence shown remove the front camshaft bearing cap and then the remaining bearing caps CAUTION Remove the front thrust camshaf2. Note If the camshaft lobes are not exactly positioned as shown the crankshaft will require one full additional rotation to 12 o clock Note The No 1 cylinder passenger s side front camshaft exhaust lobe the middle lobe must be coming up on the exhaust stroke Verify by noting the position of the 2 intake camshaft lobes and the exhaust lobe on the No 1 cylinder ieee Step 7 RH SIDE Using the ST 101 Valve Spring Compressor remove the 3 camshaft roller followers shown in the illustration The foot will need to be angled a certain way in order for it to have movement downward without hitting parts of the head Make sure that as you compress the spring the valve stem is going along with it If it s not you should press down on it with your finger every so often If you don t press often enough the valve retainer keys may come apart and fall off of the valve stem Avoid this because not only will you need to reassemble it but one or both retainer keys could fall into an oil galley way If you start compressing the spring and the retainer keys immediately start separating reposition the foot of the tool and try again The spring should compress nicely and you may or may not need to press the valve stem down with your finger as you go along The valve stem should press down fairly easily with your finger if everything is setup correctly Once the spring is compressed and the valve stem is down then go ahead and either
