    Camshaft


To install:

  1. With the crankshaft positioned at TDC, install the camshaft with the dowel pin facing the center of the engine. Position the bearing caps and install the mounting bolts from inside to outside. Tighten the bolts to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm).
  2. Hold both camshafts in position with tool No. 11-3-190.
  3. Mount the oil pipes with the oil outlet bores facing the camshaft. Install the hollow union bolt in the bearing cover. Install the mounting bolts and tighten to 108 inch lbs. (12 Nm).

    Timing chain guide and tensioning rail
    Timing chain tensioner
    Camshaft sprocket bolts: 89 inch lbs. (10 Nm)

S14 Engine

NOTE
To perform this operation it is necessary to have Tool No. 11 3 010 or equivalent. This is necessary to permit safe removal of the camshaft bearing caps and then safe release of the tension the valve springs put on the camshafts. The job also requires an adapter to keep the camshaft sprockets from turning while loosening and tightening their mounting bolts.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Remove the cylinder head cover. Remove the fan cowl and the fan.
  2. Remove the mounting bolts and remove the distributor cap. Remove the mounting screws and remove the rotor. Unscrew the distributor adapter and the protective cover underneath. Inspect the O-ring that runs around the protective cover and replace it, if necessary.
  3. Remove the 2 bolts and remove the protective cover from in front of the right side (intake) camshaft. Remove the bolts and remove the distributor housing from in front of the left (exhaust) side cam. Inspect the O-rings, and replace them, if necessary.
  4. Remove the 6 mounting bolts from the cover at the rear end of the cylinder head and remove it. Replace the gasket. Note that on the S14 engine, 2 of these bolts are longer. These fit into the 2 holes that are sleeved.
  5. Remove the 2 socket head bolts, located at the front of the head, which mount the upper timing chain guide rail. Then, remove the upper guide rail.
  6. Turn the crankshaft to set the engine at No. 1 cylinder Top Dead Center (TDC). On the S14 engine, valves for No. 4 will be at overlap position-both valves just slightly open with timing marks at TDC.


NOTE
The next item to be removed is a plug which keeps the tensioner piston inside its hydraulic cylinder against considerable spring pressure. Use a socket wrench and keep pressure against the outer end of the plug, pushing inward, so spring pressure can be released very gradually once the plug's threads are free of the block.

  1. Remove the plug from the tensioner piston, and then release spring tension. Remove the spring and then the piston. Check the length of the spring. It must be 6.240-6.280 inches (158.5-159.5mm) in length; otherwise, replace it to maintain stable timing chain tension.


NOTE
The timing chain should remain engaged on the crankshaft sprocket while removing the camshafts. Otherwise, it will be necessary to do additional work to restore proper timing. Keep the timing chain under slight tension by supporting it at the top while removing the camshaft sprockets.

  1. Pry open the lock plates for the camshaft sprocket mounting bolts. Install an adapter to hold the sprockets still and remove the mounting bolts.
  2. Using an adapter to keep the sprockets from turning and putting tension on the timing chain, loosen and remove the sprocket mounting bolts, keeping the chain supported.
  3. Mount the special tool on the timing case, which mounts to the top of the head. Then, tighten the tool's shaft to the stop. This will hold both camshafts down against their lower bearings. Also, mark the camshafts as to exhaust and intake.
  4. Remove the mounting bolts. Mark the camshaft bearing caps. It is possible to save time by keeping the caps in order, although they are marked for installation in the same positions.
  5. Once all bolts are removed, slowly crank backwards on the tool's shaft to gradually release the tension on the camshaft bearing caps. Once all tension is released, remove the tool.
  6. Carefully, remove the camshafts in such a way as to avoid nicking any bearing surfaces or cams.

To install:

  1. Oil all bearing and camshaft surfaces with clean engine oil. Carefully, install the camshafts, marked E for intake and A for exhaust, to avoid nicking any wear surfaces. The camshafts should be turned so the groove between the front camshaft and sprocket mounting flange faces straight up. Install the special tool and tighten down on the shaft to seat the camshaft bearings.
  2. Install all bearing caps in order or as marked. Torque the attaching bolts to 15-17 ft. lbs. (20-23 Nm). Then, release the tension provided by the tool by turning the bolt and remove the tool.
  3. Install the intake sprocket (marked E), install the lock plate, and install the mounting bolts. Use the adapter to keep the sprocket from turning, and torque the bolts to 80 inch lbs. (9 Nm). Do the same for the exhaust side sprocket. Make sure the timing chain stays in time.
  4. Slide the timing chain tensioner piston into the opening in the cylinder in the block. Install the spring with the conically wound end facing the plug. Install the plug into the end of the sprocket and then install it over the spring. Use the socket wrench to depress the spring until the plug's threads engage with those in the block. Start the threads in carefully and then torque the plug to 27-31 ft. lbs. (37-42 Nm).
  5. Crank the engine forward just 1 turn in normal direction of rotation. Now, 1 camshaft groove on each side should face toward the center of the head and 1 on each side should face the case boss on the front bearing cap. Lock the sprocket mounting bolts with the tabs on the lockplates.
  6. Reverse the remaining removal procedures to complete the installation. Before final tightening of the mounting nuts for the guide rail for the top of the timing chain, go back and forth, measuring the clearance between the sprockets and the center of the guide rail to center it. Then, tighten the mounting nuts.
