  Q: How to service and repair the timing chain on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  Begin time chain service and repair by positioning the Crankshaft balancer key into the keyway but maintain a level or slightly angled position relative to the Crankshaft. You need to position the timing marks correctly on the sprockets before installing the Timing Chain on sprocket components. After fitting the camshaft sprocket bolt apply torque to 100 nm (74 ft. Lbs.) using the torque angle meter (J 36660-A) to lock the bolt at an additional 90-degree angle. Frequently install the Timing Chain dampener before tightening its bolt to 22 nm (16 ft. Lbs.).

  Q: How to replace the timing chain and sprockets on Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A:

  The replacement process begins with removal of the engine front cover. The Crankshaft requires rotation until all timing marks become perfectly aligned. Align the camshaft alignment pin while also aligning the Timing Chain dampener to the Crankshaft sprocket . Take off the camshaft sprocket bolt then unfasten the camshaft sprocket with Timing Chain before loosening the Crankshaft sprocket. Start by detaching the Timing Chain dampener's bolts followed by taking out the complete item. The installation process requires removal of the bolts and thrust plate from both the camshaft thrust plate. The Timing Chain requires cleaning along with detailed assessment of its gears. Reinstall the camshaft thrust plate before torquing its bolts to 10 nm (89 inch lbs.) torque. Install the Crankshaft sprocket while applying engine oil supplement gm p/n 1052367 (Canadian P/N 992869) or compatible product to the sprocket thrust surface. Secure the Timing Chain dampener's bolts at a torque of 21 nm (15 ft. Lbs.). Install the Timing Chain on the camshaft gear before you lower the camshaft sprocket with the chain dangling. Guide the chain to fit onto the Crankshaft Gear. Position the Crankshaft timing mark next to the timing mark located on the bottom of the Timing Chain dampener then position the camshaft gear timing mark and center line of the locator hole with the dampener's top timing mark. The camshaft dowel needs to slide perfectly into the camshaft sprocket's dowel hole. Tap the camshaft sprocket to the camshaft shaft using the mounting bolt then apply torque of 140 nm (103 ft. Lbs.). After oiling both the Crankshaft and camshaft sprocket you must reinstall the engine front cover.
