Drain cooling system. Remove right and left cylinder head covers. Remove radiator fan shroud. 5. Rotate engine until timing mark on crankshaft damper aligns with TDC mark on timing chain cover (Fig. 132) (# 1 cylinder exhaust stroke) and the camshaft sprocket “V8″ marks are at the 12 o’clock position (Fig. 133). 6.

CAUTION: Care should be taken not to damage camshaft target wheel. Do
not hold target wheel while loosening or tightening camshaft sprocket.
Do not place the target wheel near a magnetic source of any kind. A
damaged or magnetized target wheel could cause a vehicle no start
condition. CAUTION: Do not forcefully rotate the camshafts or crankshaft
independently of each other. Damaging intake valve
to piston contact will occur. Ensure negative battery cable is
disconnected to guard against accidental starter engagement. 13. Remove
