How Do You Remove and Install the Camshaft in V6 engine on Chevrolet Caprice?

Drain the cooling system, then remove the radiator, fan, pulleys, belts, and water pump. If the vehicle has air conditioning, unbolt the condenser and position it out of the way; if any hoses need to be disconnected, have the system discharged by a dealer or qualified specialist. Next, remove the grille and the intake manifold, followed by the rocker arm covers, rocker arm and shaft assemblies, pushrods, and valve lifters. Remove the fuel pump and distributor, plugging the fuel lines to prevent drainage. Take out the harmonic balancer, timing chain cover, timing chain, and sprockets, ensuring to align the timing marks on the sprockets before removal to prevent damage to the camshaft journals. Slide the camshaft forward out of the bearing bores, being extremely careful to avoid damaging the bearings and surfaces. Upon re-installation, lubricate the camshaft lobes with heavy oil, and after ensuring the camshaft timing marks are aligned, reinstall all components in reverse order using new gaskets.

Chevrolet Caprice Camshaft

Camshaft is an important component of the Chevrolet Caprice engines since it provides the necessary control of the intake and exhaust valves to enable the introduction of the air/fuel mixture as well as the elimination of the exhaust gases. Made from Iron or Steel, Chevrolet Camshaft has different types of working like Over Head Valve (OHV), Single Over Head Cam (SOHC), and Double Over Head Cam (DOHC) which affects the engine in different manner. Performance camshafts may increase power and efficiency with the help of raised valve lift and duration, and valve characteristics including torque and idle quality through the change of the Lobe Separation Angle (LSA). The camshaft and configuation is important for the Chevrolet Caprice since it has to be synchronous with the crankshaft in order to function correctly for various RPM ranges in the vehicle.

Each OEM Chevrolet Caprice Camshaft we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.
