How to Properly Service and Replace a Camshaft on Chevrolet Colorado?

Start the Camshaft replacement by taking off the Camshaft cover along with the Camshaft position (CMP) sensor. Rotate the Crankshaft clockwise until the #1 Piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke. When using the j 44221 Camshaft holding tool at the Camshaft back you must discard the intake and exhaust Camshaft sprocket bolts while tightening the bolts on the j 44222 Camshaft sprocket holding tool at the Cylinder Head front section and properly adjusting the horizontal bolt screw in the exhaust Camshaft phaser actuator sprocket to uphold Timing Chain tension. Use the j 44222 to pull the Camshaft Timing Chain as well as sprockets out of the camshafts. First loosen the Camshaft cap bolts to remove all valve spring pressure before extracting the Camshaft caps and the j 44221. The Cylinder Head needs to have both camshafts removed from it. For installation, coat the Camshaft journals, thrust face, and lobes with clean engine oil, then install the j 44221 with the Camshaft flats up and the #1 Piston at tdc. Markings on Camshaft caps guide the correct positioning of camshafts for intake and exhaust. Tighten the Camshaft caps evenly until valve springs become compressed before applying 12 nm (106 lb in) of final torque. When positioning camshafts use a 25 mm wrench on the hex to align the sprockets while also ensuring the pins stay engaged. Remove the j 44222 after moving its sprockets with Timing Chain components to the camshafts. Tighten the new intake Camshaft sprocket bolt to 20 nm (15 lb ft) followed by an additional 100 degrees while using the j 45059 angle meter. Similarly, tighten the new exhaust Camshaft actuator bolt to 25 nm (18 lb ft) with 135 degrees additional torque while using the j 45059. Complete installation by removing the j 44221 then placing the cmp sensor and reattaching the Camshaft cover.

This component plays a vital role of converting rotary movement into linear movement hence reducing the operating range of the engine rpm and overall efficiency. Types including OHV and DOHC have been implemented into different models of Chevrolet Colorado with different layouts impacting on their performance. Chevrolet Colorado camshafts can be categorized into two main types based on the valve lifters they use: two types of wheels, flat-tapped and roller.
