3. Install the CMP actuator and timing chain. Align the hole in the rear face of the CMP
actuator with the locating pin on the front face of the camshaft. If necessary, rotate the
camshaft or crankshaft sprockets in order to align the timing marks. Use care to install the
actuator completely onto the front of the camshaft. Position your fingers onto the face of the
actuator sprocket and push the actuator onto the front of the camshaft. Never push on the
reluctor wheel when attempting to install the actuator.
CAUTION: Do not push or pull on the reluctor wheel of the camshaft
position (CMP) actuator during removal or installation.
The reluctor wheel is retained to the front of the CMP
actuator by 3 roll pins. Pushing or pulling on the wheel
may dislodge the wheel from the front of the actuator. The
actuator return spring is under tension and may rotate the
dislodged reluctor wheel, causing personal injury.
