• Q: How to replace the RH secondary camshaft timing chain on 2002 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: In other words, one should de-install the right Timing Chain tensioner, Camshaft position sensor, and right-Camshaft cover in order to replace the right Timing Chain. Make sure that the top end of all the Camshaft sprocket-drive pins are at the top of their rotation. The Camshaft holding tool handles must be treated with care. Mount the Camshaft holding tool (J44212) on the part of the camshafts, and then remove the mechanics wire that supports the right Timing Chain shoe. Then, remove the engine front cover bolt, using an open wrench to torque the hex into the Camshaft without rotation to get rid of the sprocket bolt to the right exhaust Camshaft. Slide the right exhaust Camshaft sprocket off the Camshaft and take the right Timing Chain from the Camshaft sprocket teeth and lift from the Camshaft intermediate drive shaft sprocket teeth before removing it from the engine. For the case of installation, slide the right Timing Chain downwards through right cylinder head onto right intake Camshaft sprocket, routing it around the outer row of the Camshaft intermediate drive shaft sprocket teeth. Thread the right exhaust Camshaft sprocket with the right Timing Chain and onto the Camshaft with the engage marked sprocket notch with the exhaust Camshaft pin. Using the open-end wrench, avoid rotation as you tighten the bolt of Camshaft sprocket to a 120 nm (89 ft. Lbs.). Lastly, install the proper right Timing Chain tensioner, rupture the Camshaft holding tool (J 44212), install the right Camshaft cover and Camshaft Position Sensor.
