Volvo 3.0 T6/3.2 SI6 Inner Timing Cover, Cam hubs, and chain reassembly.

Описание к видео Volvo 3.0 T6/3.2 SI6 Inner Timing Cover, Cam hubs, and chain reassembly.

Many of you have seen TheVolvoGuy's video basically doing the exact same thing. I simply am doing it on an actual car

I just wanted to say, that the cam locking tools are NOT needed when installing the bolts onto the VVT/Cam hubs. I will explain later. Your order of operations needs to be like this:

With the inner timing cover off the car, replace the timing chain guides. The big lower one is impossible to fully remove (at least to me) but the portion which experiences wear IS replaceble. I simply removed it from the new one and clipped it onto the old guide. Same thing really, no big deal. Also install your tensioner.

Make SURE YOU PUT THE INNER TIMING COVER GASKET!!!
there is a stud on the head which will hold that gasket so it doesnt fall off.

Next put the cover on (make sure its all the way back against the water pipe

Now its time for the chain. Install the intake VVT Cam hub and leave it semi loose for now. make sure the chain is nice and tight around the READ unit gear. The hard part is right here...

With your hands holding the chain tight from the top and bottom, somehow, get the exhaust cam hub, and try and fit the chain on. It's not gonna be easy trust me. Once you get that, you should make sure you did not remove the camshaft timing tool... Okay good! Now time for the bolts

Remove the pin in the tensioner (or dont it doesnt really matter tbh, its not GONNA turn!!)
He said in his video that "tightening the cam bolts without the cam lock/hold tool would break the camshaft" this WOULD be true, if the CHAIN was not attached. The cam locking tool simply attaches both hubs together to prevent them moving when loosening. However, in reassembly, if you have the chain on both gears, which is attached to the READ gear (which is attached to the engine's flywheel)
Basically what i'm saying, is that if you have the crankshaft tool installed and the pin is inserted into the locked position, the engine is not going to turn. THIS means that it is NOT necessary to utilize the camshaft holding tools to tighten the bolts. I would RECOMMEND you use them, but it is not necessary. The chain does the same exact action as the cam hold tool does.. It HOLDS the cam hubs together. That is all I wanted to say

After that, (if you didnt) pull the pin for the chain. Its a simply spring tensioner. It took mine a few hours to fully get tight on the chain. Once the tensioner has eliminated the slack in the chain, turn the engine over and check everything.
