How to Remove and Install a Camshaft on 2005 Chrysler 300?

Question

Accepted Answer

Take away the primary timing chain and the four bolts that secure the secondary chain tensioner before removing the camshaft (6). The engine is marked during factory production, so note that seat one for the exhaust camshaft bearing is labeled 1E. Take the bolts out of the camshaft bearer caps one by one, as instructed and then take off the caps (1). After that, use one motion to take out the intake camshaft (7), exhaust camshaft (2), secondary timing chain (8) and secondary timing chain tensioner (6). Take the secondary timing chain tensioner (6) and secondary timing chain (8) off of the camshafts (2&7) and examine the camshafts. Look for signs of camshaft bearing journal (2) damage and binding and if it happens, check the cylinder head for signs of damage and blocks in the oil holes. Look at the camshaft sprockets to see if they are too worn and change the camshafts if that is the case. Examine the cam lobe (5) surfaces for unusual wear or damage and swap the camshaft if it fails the examination. Measure the wear and exclude the unit if the value is higher than 0.254 mm (0.010 inch) or less than 0.0254 mm (0.001 inch). If you remove the timing chain and install the cylinder heads, make sure the crankshaft is found in the right position so that the camshafts don't rotate and cause damage to the engine. Join the chain on the cams with the plated links (1) pointing in front so they match the dots (4) on the camshaft sprockets. If the tensioner is already tightened and fixed, follow the next steps. Should it not meet this requirement, tighten the tensioner (1) inside a soft jaw vise, then use a fabricated lock pin (2) to secure the lock holes before releasing the tensioner. Put the compressed and locked camshaft chain tensioner (2) into place between the camshafts and chain and align the plated links (1) and dots (4) so they face the 12:00 position. Position the cams on the cylinder head while making sure the rocker arms are correctly fitted. Check that the camshaft bearing caps are in their original position and then tighten the bolts to a pressure of 12 Nm (105 inch lbs.). Fasten the secondary chain tensioner (2) along with the two bolts to 12 Nm (105 inch lbs.) and take out the locking pin (3) from the secondary tensioners (2). Check how much the camshafts can rotate and after that, put in the main timing chain.
