• Q: How to replace the camshaft on 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe?

  A: The procedure for Camshaft replacement starts with radiator support removal then proceeding to extract valve lifters. The procedure entails taking out the Timing Chain as well as the Camshaft position actuator and solenoid valve. Remove the Camshaft retainer bolts (204) first together with retainer (203) with caution for the Camshaft bearings while all journals share the same diameter. You can install a bolt onto the Camshaft to serve as a rotational tool while removing the Camshaft from the engine block with utmost care. Perform an evaluation on both the Camshaft and its bearings following correct cleaning procedures. The replacement process for a Camshaft requires replacement of the valve lifters as well. A clean oil dipstick should be used to lubricate the Camshaft journals and bearings before slowly inserting the Camshaft into the engine block through use of the bolt hand holder. Initiate the bolt removal procedure from the Camshaft front section while ensuring the retaining element contains the necessary sealing gasket facing the engine block surface and remains free of foreign particles. Reinstall the Camshaft retainer (203) followed by its bolts (204) while torquing the first design hex head bolts to 25 nm (18 lb ft) in combination with the second design torx(R) head bolts to 15 nm (11 lb ft). Finish the process by reinstalling the Timing Chain and Camshaft position actuator and solenoid valve and the valve lifters and then mount the radiator support.
