How to service and repair the timing chain on 2001 GMC Savana 3500?

The procedure for Timing Chain service starts with front engine cover removal plus Crankshaft position reluctor ring removal followed by fresh engine front cover installation. Wait for the number one cylinder to reach top dead center (TDC) compression position while both sprockets display alignment marks. The installation process starts with removing camshaft sprocket bolts before proceeding to the removal of camshaft sprocket and camshaft Timing Chain. The Crankshaft gear installer (J 5825-A) serves to pull out the Crankshaft sprocket as well as the woodruff key (crankshaft balancer). Install the woodruff key (crankshaft balancer) inside the Crankshaft first if removed then line up the keyway of the Crankshaft sprocket with the woodruff key followed by using the Crankshaft gear installer (J 5590) together with a hammer to properly set the Crankshaft sprocket. Maintain the number 1 piston position at tdc compression stroke while ensuring the timing marks between both sprockets line up with the Crankshaft sprocket facing 12 o'clock and the camshaft sprocket at 6 o'clock. Tighten the camshaft sprocket bolts to 25 nm (18 ft. Lbs.) but first check that the camshaft and Crankshaft sprocket marks line up properly before adding the Crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring and the engine front cover.
