TIMING INTERFERENCE CAUTION

NOTE: DRIVE BELTS OR TIMING BELTS - The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be checked on which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some manufacturers do not recommend replacement at a specified mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine components on most engines, although some designs do not allow -to-valve contact. These designs are often called "Free Wheeling". Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980's to reflect inspection and/or replacement at 50,000- 60,000 miles. Most interval schedules shown in this section reflect these changes. Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any of the following conditions exist:

Crack Or Tears In Belt Surface Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth Oil Contamination Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners Incorrect Tension Adjustment

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

INSPECTION

1. To determine if timing belt length is within specifications, measure tensioner actuator from centerline of tensioner actuator to end of rubber boot. See Fig 6. If measurement is 3.2-3.7" (80.5-94.0 mm) for a used belt, the belt is in acceptable range. Replace belt is measurement is more than 3.7" (94 mm).

2. Inspect belt teeth and back side of belt for cracks, tears or other damage. Inspect components for excessive wear or unusual conditions. Note any evidence of oil or other fluid intrusion. Fig 6: Measuring Timing Belt Tensioner Actuator Length

Remove timing belt tensioner pulley. See Fig 8. DO NOT install the rod tip or the tensioner actuator boot in the jaws of a vise or damage to the assembly may occur.

5. Position actuator in vertical position (rod tip down), lightly clamp actuator body in vise. See Fig 10. (Position the tensioner actuator up, so the oil goes to the boot end for at least 5 minutes before refilling the actuator prior to reassembly, if necessary). Actuator assembly uses a tapered bushing between actuator and mounting base. DO NOT lose or damage bushing when removing actuator assembly.

6. Straighten out a standard paper clip .032" (.81mm) diameter, to a minimum straight length of 1.85 " (47 mm). Form a double loop in remaining end of paper clip. See Fig 12. Actuator assembly is filled with oil and removal of the plug may allow oil to escape. DO NOT remove vent plug. Push paper clip through center of vent plug and into pilot hole. Insert a small screwdriver into screw slot inside actuator, behind rubber end plug. Retract actuator plunger by rotating screw in a clockwise direction, until it is fully retracted. Push on paper clip and slowly rotate screw counterclockwise until paper clip engages. This unloads tensioner.

CAUTION: Remove the painted on factory timing marks from all 4 camshafts and the intermediate shaft sprocket (they will no longer be used for timing reference). Prior to installing the Cam Hold Down, ensure that the bolt hole is free of any debris or the camshaft carrier may be damaged.

8. Position camshafts so flat spots are UP for installation of Cam Hold Down. See Fig 14. Install Cam Hold Downs on both camshaft carriers. One on left (front head) and the other on the right (rear head). To remove camshaft sprockets, install Cam Hold Down and remove bolts, taper lock rings, and sprockets by lightly tapping on it with a soft faced hammer. See Fig 13.

CAMSHAFT TIMING BELT (3.4L V6)

The 3.4L V6 engine is equipped with a camshaft timing belt that should be inspected for cracks, wear or oiliness at 60,000 miles and every 15,000 miles thereafter. Check tensioner for proper operation. Replace belt or parts, as necessary. CAUTION: Failure to replace a faulty camshaft timing belt may result in serious engine damage.

The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some manufacturers do not recommend belt replacement at a specified mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine components on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve contact. These designs are often called "Free Wheeling". Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980's to reflect timing belt inspection and/or replacement at 50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules in this manual reflect these changes. Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any of the following conditions exist:
