Hi,

It sounds like you have a big job ahead of you.

If you look below, the first seven pictures are specific to the camshaft-phasers. The remaining pictures are for the timing chains. Note: The directions are complete if you plan to replace cams, bearings, and followers. I'm not sure how much you are doing, so I added everything. LOL The timing chain replacement procedures are also included.

Please take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have questions. Also, let me know if this helps, and I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas.

Take care,

joe

See pics below.

Thank you very much, very helpful as this is my first time with these motors. And I bought a kit with the there's the change the phasers, the new VC t's wall pump water pump. You know, I wasn't going to do anything with the cams, but I bought the tool to align everything for the you know, for timing on these motors, but anyway, so yeah, I guess just basically basic timing jobs what I'm doing. I'm not going any further than that. Just but uh, I do appreciate the help. All the pictures you sent for the procedure. It is going to be very, very helpful and it is done. Thank you
