How to Install a Camshaft on Dodge Caravan?

There should be no pistons at top dead center during the installation of the camshaft. Lubricate all the camshaft bearing journals, rocker arms and camshaft lobes before moving further. If you are reusing, replace all the rocker arms in their original locations. Put the camshafts on the cylinder head bearing journals and fix the right and left bearing caps No. 2 - 5 and right No. 6 into place using the M6 fasteners. Tighten the fasteners to 12 Nm (105 in. lbs.) as shown. Mopar(R) Gasket Maker should be applied to caps No. 1 and No. 6 before these caps and their M8 bolts are attached and tightened to 28 Nm (250 in. lbs.). Be sure to fit the bearing end caps before you put on the seals. After that, put the oil seals for the camshaft into place and then mount the camshaft target magnet and position sensor. After the previous steps, fit the cylinder head cover, install the timing belt rear cover, fit the camshaft sprockets and finish with the timing belt.

How to Remove a Camshaft on Dodge Caravan?

Start by taking off the cylinder head cover and afterward, remove the camshaft position sensor and camshaft target magnet. After that, get rid of the timing belt; proceed to remove the timing belt rear cover and the camshaft sprockets. The locations of bearing caps are marked, so begin by taking off the outside bearing caps. Follow the correct order for fasteners as you take off the cap of the camshaft bearing, keeping in mind only the intake cam number 6 has a wider face between the bearings. Be sure to tell one camshaft from another before removing them, since you can't interchange them. If you need to remove rocker arms, be certain to mark them so they go back in their proper places.

Camshaft in Dodge caravan vehicles is highly essential for controlling the intake and exhaust valve of the engines where the mixture of air and fuel is admitted and the fumes are emitted. It is usually made of iron or steel, and works through levers such as the Pushrods and Rocker arms, in the Over Head Valve (OHV) engines or followers in Single Over Head Cam (SOHC) and Double Over Head Cam (DOHC). It is necessary to note that camshafts of different years of Dodge Caravan are different which predetermines their performance. For example, performance camshafts provide greater and longer lift leading to improvement of airflow and power but also an effect on idle characteristics and a torque. Other features like Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) helps to distinguish these camshafts by ways of performance improvement of torque and RPMs. In general, analysis of the camshaft manifests the fact that it plays a crucial role for the optimal performance of the Dodge Caravan engine.
