How to replace the intake camshaft and lash adjuster on 2008 Chevrolet Malibu?

The first task in intake camshaft and valve lifter replacement requires removal of the intake camshaft position actuator. One turn of bolt removal at a time from the bearing caps will reduce the camshaft spring tension before you mark the caps for future reinstallation. Unfasten the bearing caps and their bolts before extracting the intake camshaft. Reinstallation of the roller followers and hydraulic adjusters requires proper organization. The next step involves removing camshaft roller followers together with hydraulic element lash adjusters from the mechanism. Insert the hydraulic element lash adjusters into their relevant Cylinder Head bores and lubricate them together with the valve tips using gm pn 12345501 (Canadian PN 992704) or equivalent product. The original placement of roller followers on the camshaft needs to be maintained during repairs; complete replacement of any camshaft mandates the exchange of related roller followers as well. Lubricate the camshaft roller followers that face the valve tips by using gm pn 12345501 (Canadian PN 992704) or equivalent product. Install the intake camshaft and follow it with gm pn 12345501 (Canadian PN 992704) or equivalent oil lubrication. Begin by installing the camshaft bearing caps while hand-tightening the cap bolts before properly torquing bearing caps to 10 n.m (89 lb in) total. Place the final component of intake camshaft position actuator.
