How to Replace the Camshaft and Lifters in 2.3L four cylinder (Quad-4) engine on Pontiac Grand Prix?

Special tools are required for this procedure, so it is important to read through it before beginning work. Start by disconnecting the cable from the negative battery terminal, ensuring that the Theftlock audio system's lockout feature is turned off if applicable. Proceed to remove the timing chain and sprockets, followed by the timing chain housing-to-camshaft housing bolts, and then the ignition coil and module assembly. Disconnect the idle speed power steering pressure switch, remove the power steering pump and brackets, and take off the power steering pump drive pulley using a puller to avoid damage. Next, remove the oil/air separator as an assembly with the hoses attached, and set aside the fuel rail from the cylinder head. Unplug the oil pressure sending unit wire and unbolt the engine lifting bracket. Loosen the camshaft housing-to-cylinder head bolts in 1/4-turn increments, leaving two cover-to-housing bolts in place temporarily, then gently lift the housing off the cylinder head. Remove the two camshaft cover-to-housing bolts and push the cover off by threading four of the housing-to-head bolts into the tapped holes in the cover, carefully lifting the camshaft out of the housing. Clean the mating surfaces to remove old gasket material and oil, then remove and discard the oil seal from the intake camshaft. Store the Lash Adjusters in order, valve-side up, submerged in clean engine oil to minimize bleed-down. Inspect the camshaft and Lash Adjusters for wear and measure the Lash Adjuster bore and outside diameters, recording the results to determine clearance and compare to specifications for necessary replacements. For installation, use a new gasket to position the camshaft housing on the cylinder head, temporarily holding it with one bolt. Coat the camshaft journals, lobes, and Lash Adjusters with pre-lube, install them in their original locations, and lubricate the lip of the oil seal before positioning it on the camshaft journal. Install the camshaft with the sprocket dowel pin facing up, position the cover, and apply pipe sealant to the threads of the camshaft housing and cover bolts. Install new housing seals, the camshaft cover, and bolts while ensuring the oil seal is installed to the correct depth. Tighten the bolts in the specified sequence to the required torque and angle of rotation, then install the power steering pump pulley with a special tool. Reassemble the remaining parts in reverse order of removal, change the oil and filter, and follow the procedure to purge the Lash Adjusters of air if new Lash Adjusters were installed or if they bled down during disassembly. Finally, road test the vehicle and check for oil and coolant leaks.

Pontiac Grand Prix Camshaft

Camshaft in Pontiac Grand Prix automobile relates with the correct opening and closing of the engine intake and exhaust valves to allow the air/fuel mixture into the consumption chamber and also to expel the exhaust gases. Generally made up of iron or steel, the camshaft works in different ways, by pushrods and the rocker arms in over head valve engines or by followers in single over head cam or double over head cam engines. The seating of the Pontiac Grand Prix models has remained a little different over the years affecting the several camshaft tendencies. Manufacturing camshafts such as performance camshafts for instance provide better lift and longer duration for the airflow and therefore power, specifically at high levels of RPM. Other parameters like the Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) have direct affect on torque and idle characteristics because lobe specification offers the ability to fine tune it according to certain type of driving.

Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix 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.
