How do you remove a camshaft sprocket from an engine?
Remove the timing belt tensioner, tensioner plate and spring from the engine. Insert a metal rod through the hole in the camshaft to lock the camshaft from rotating. Loosen the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt, then pull the camshaft sprocket off of the end of the camshaft.
How do you align the crankshaft on a Ford EcoBoost?
Use the alignment holes on timing cover and crankshaft pulley. Rotate engine by hand clockwise until crankshaft makes contact with timing peg. Do not use excessive force. Hole on crankshaft pulley will align with hole on timing cover.
How do you remove the timing belt sprocket?
Remove the crankshaft timing belt sprocket by loosening the center bolt, while preventing the crankshaft from rotating. To hold the crankshaft from turning, you can use Suzuki Tool 09927–56010 (or equivalent), or a large prybar inserted in the transmission housing slot and the flywheel teeth. Pull the sprocket off of the end of the crankshaft.
How do you install an oil pump sprocket?
Slide the timing belt guide on the crankshaft so that the concave side faces the oil pump, then install the sprocket key in the groove in the crankshaft. Slide the pulley onto the crankshaft, and install the center retaining bolt. Tighten the center bolt to 80 ft. lbs. (110 Nm).
How is the crankshaft pulley and timing sprocket connected?
The crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft timing sprocket are not keyed to the crankshaft. The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part.
Remove the timing belt tensioner, tensioner plate and spring from the engine. Insert a metal rod through the hole in the camshaft to lock the camshaft from rotating. Loosen the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt, then pull the camshaft sprocket off of the end of the camshaft.
What do you remove from a camshaft alignment plate?
Remove the timing chain tensioner. Compress the timing chain tensioner and insert a paper clip into the hole. Remove the bolts and timing chain tensioner. Remove the RH timing chain guide. Remove the timing chain. Remove the bolts and the LH timing chain guide. CAUTION: Do not rely on the Camshaft Alignment Plate to prevent camshaft rotation.
Why is the chrankshaft pulley not on the keyway?
If the sprocket is not keyed, removing the harmonic balancer could have thrown off the timing. The pulley and chrankshaft timing gear are not on a keyway, they are held in place by the crankshaft retaining bolt. Make sure the engine is at TDC before the pulley is removed…..
Why did I rotate the cam shaft independent of the crank shaft?
During a head gasket job I, in my inexperience, allowed the timing chain to slip off the crank shaft. This required taking the front cover off and re installing the timing chain. Again, in my inexperience, I moved the cam shaft around while the timing chain was not installed. At this point I realize the error of my ways.
Can you rotate the cam shaft on an OHC engine?
Rotating the camshaft on an OHC engine is easy to do when your pulling the head. And even just changing the chain. If the crankshaft is turned to put the timing mark 90* before top dead center, all 4 pistons will be half way down their bores and you can spin the camshaft with no chance of a piston/valve collision.
How to remove camshaft sprocket when replacing timing belt?
How to remove camshaft sprocket when replacing timing belt & water pump or camshaft oil seals. – YouTube
Why are my intake camshaft bolts not working?
Certain late model BMWs can experience a problem with the camshaft sprocket retention bolts failing. This is a design defect, and well know in professional BMW service circles. You can see on the photo below, that VANOS (variable valve timing system) to intake camshaft bolts have broken and backed out, 3 of the 4 bolts are damaged and loose.
What happens if the camshaft bolts break on a BMW?
BMW said “in very rare cases the bolts holding the variable camshaft timing (Vanos) unit housing may become loose or, in extreme cases, break.” In such cases, the driver would be alerted by a check-engine warning light.
What are the symptoms of a BMW camshaft problem?
Or a bolt backs out and falls into the timing change, Either way, a very bad day. Signs and Symptoms of this problem include VANOS fault codes, rough idle, engine noise, knocking or clicking sound, maybe a rumbling noise. Then, if not corrected, the KABOOM. An expensive “KABOOM”.
