How to Remove the Left Camshaft on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Before you remove the left camshaft, ensure the timing chain is removed correctly or you may damage the valves or pistons by forcing only one camshaft or crank. Special Tool 8379 helps keep the tension from the ratchet too high when removing an outboard cam sprocket, timing chains or camshaft. Start by taking out the cylinder head cover and put the engine at its top dead center position for No. 1 cylinder so that the "V6" marks on the cam sprocket lie at 12 o'clock. Connect one link on the secondary timing chain to the V6 mark on each side to mark the position for installation. Proper maintenance means taking care not to press on the camshaft target wheel. Try to remove the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt, secure the chain tensioners, enough to loosen the bolt; just make sure they remain secured to keep the chain tension from increasing. Push Special Tool 8379 between the timing chain strands and tap it to hold the chain in place against the arm and guide. After inserting Special Tool 8428, remove the bolt and sprocket and turn the camshaft 5° clockwise to its neutral position. Screw the retaining bolts in the bearing cap, one at a time, until all the pressure on the caps is gone and avoid hitting the caps to avoid damaging them. Identify the rocker arms ahead of time and afterwards take out the bearing caps and camshaft. When installing, coat the camshaft journals with oil and put the camshaft on the left so the sprocket dowel at the 1 o'clock location makes it easier to install the bearing caps. Calibrate the stamped arrow positions from the front and loosely install camshaft vane bolts in the cylinder head in order from front to back. Begin with the middle banding cap and use 1/2 turns to tighten each bolt until you reach 11 Nm (100 inch lbs.). Set the camshaft drive gear right against the timing chain, matching the V6 mark with two chain links and rotate the camshaft using Tool 8428 until the dowel on the sprocket fits in the slot. Set the sprocket in place and clean off any excess oil so you don't over-torque the bolt, then tighten it manually with your fingers. Once the timing chain wedge is gone, secure the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt with Special Tool 6958 using adapter pins 8346, then gob-stopper the cylinder head cover into place.

What is the Correct Method for Installing a Camshaft on Jeep Grand Cherokee?

Drizzle engine oil onto the camshaft journals and insert the camshaft with its dowel present at the 10 o'clock spot, so it lies at the neutral position when installing the camshaft bearing caps. Then, put the camshaft in its slot inside the cylinder head and attach the camshaft bearing caps, tightening the top retaining bolts as you go, with the stamped numbers and arrows in their proper order from each cap's front to rear. Turn each retaining bolt inside the middle bearing cap halfway and tighten each with torque of 11 Nm (100 in. lbs.). Attach the camshaft drive gear onto the timing chain, bringing the V6 mark into the centre of the upper marked link. Using Special Tool 8428 Camshaft Wrench, turn the camshaft so the dowel of the shaft is in the camshaft sprocket slot, then fit the sprocket onto the shaft. Remove any extra oil from the camshaft sprocket bolt to avoid damaging it and after that hand tighten the bolt that holds in the camshaft sprocket. After removing the timing chain wedge with proper Tool 8379, set the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt to 122 Nm (90 ft. lbs.) using spanner wrench Special Tool 6958 and pins for adapting. Once these steps are completed, put in the camshaft position sensor and the cylinder head cover.

Camshaft in the Jeep Grand Cherokee automobiles is a component that helps in operation of intake and exhaust valves of automobiles through which air fuel mixture is admitted and exhaust gases expelled. It is made of iron or steel, Mechanisms which the camshaft works with consist of Over Head Valve (OHV), Single Over Head Cam (SOHC), and Double Over Head Cam (DOHC) valves, the functioning of each impacting on the engine performance. Jeep Grand Cherokee may have more variations in terms of the camshafts and the better versions will have more lift and longer duration on the airflow for an increase in power. Timing of camshaft with the crankshaft is necessary to coordinate the operation of the valve with that of piston, which determines efficiency of the car's engine. Also, some features such as LSA - Lobe Separation Angle that defines configuration, can have impact on torque and idle quality and enable fine tuning for certain kind of driving. All things considered, the camshaft is crucial to the performance of the Jeep Grand Cherokee's engine.

Q: How to Remove the Left Camshaft on Jeep Grand Cherokee?
A:
Before you remove the left camshaft, ensure the Timing Chain is removed correctly or you may damage the valves or pistons by forcing only one camshaft or crank. Special Tool 8379 helps keep the tension from the ratchet too high when removing an outboard cam sprocket, timing chains or camshaft. Start by taking out the cylinder head cover and put the engine at its top dead center position for No. 1 cylinder so that the "V6" marks on the cam sprocket lie at 12 o'clock. Connect one link on the secondary timing chain to the V6 mark on each side to mark the position for installation. Proper maintenance means taking care not to press on the camshaft target wheel. Try to remove the camshaft sprocket retaining bolt, secure the chain tensioners, enough to loosen the bolt; just make sure they remain secured to keep the chain tension from increasing. Push Special Tool 8379 between the timing chain strands and tap it to hold the chain in place against the arm and guide. After inserting Special Tool 8428, remove the bolt and sprocket and turn the camshaft 5° clockwise to its neutral position. Screw the retaining bolts in the bearing cap, one at a time, until all the pressure on the caps is gone and avoid hitting the caps to avoid damaging them. Identify the Rocker Arms ahead of time and afterwards take out the bearing caps and camshaft. When installing, coat the camshaft journals with oil and put the camshaft on the left so the sprocket dowel at the 1 o'clock location makes it easier to install the bearing caps. Calibrate the stamped arrow positions from the front and loosely install camshaft vane bolts in the cylinder head in order from front to back.

Set the camshaft drive gear right against the timing chain, matching the V6 mark with two chain links and rotate the camshaft using Tool 8428 until the dowel on the sprocket fits in the slot.
