Engine Mount Inspection


Important: Before replacing any engine mount due to suspected fluid loss, verify that the
source of the fluid is the engine mount, not the engine or accessories.

1. Install the engine support fixture. Refer to Engine Support Fixture .


2. Raise the engine slightly and observe the engine mount. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the
Vehicle.

Raising the engine removes the weight from the engine mount and creates a slight tension
on the rubber portion.

3. Replace the engine mount if the engine mount exhibits any of the following conditions:
• The hard rubber is covered with heat check cracks.
• The rubber is separated from the metal plate of the engine mount.
• The rubber is split through the center of the engine mount.
• The engine mount itself is leaking fluid.
4. For engine mount replacement, refer to Engine Mount Replacement .

Timing Chain Tensioner Replacement


Special Tools
J 45027 Tensioner Tool

Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and
Connection.
2. Remove the camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement.

3. Remove the timing chain tensioner.


4. Remove the seal from the tensioner.

Installation Procedure

© 2010 General Motors Corporation. All rights reserved.

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2166891&pubCellSyskey=162423&pub... 11/15/2010
Document ID: 2166891 Page 2 of 4

1. Inspect the timing chain tensioner. If the timing chain tensioner, O-ring seal, or washer is
damaged, replace the timing chain tensioner or O-ring seal as applicable.
2. Measure the timing chain tensioner assembly from end to end. If the timing chain tensioner
is to be replaced, a new tensioner should be supplied in the fully compressed non-active
state.

A tensioner in the compressed state will measure 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end. A
tensioner in the active state will measure 85 mm (3.35 in) (a) from end to end.

3. If the timing chain tensioner is not in the compressed state, perform the following steps:
3.1. Remove the piston assembly from the body of the timing chain tensioner by pulling it
out.

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2166891&pubCellSyskey=162423&pub... 11/15/2010
Document ID: 2166891 Page 3 of 4

3.2. Install the J 45027-2 (2) into a vise.


3.3. Install the notch end of the piston assembly into the J 45027-2 (2).
3.4. Using the J 45027-1 (1), turn the ratchet cylinder into the piston.

4. Inspect the bore of the tensioner body for dirt, debris, and damage. If any damage appears,
replace the tensioner. Clean dirt or debris out with a lint-free cloth.
5. Install the compressed piston assembly back into the timing chain tensioner body until it
stops at the bottom of the bore.

Do not compress the piston assembly against the bottom of the bore. If the piston assembly
is compressed against the bottom of the bore, it will activate the tensioner, which will then
need to be reset again.

6. At this point the tensioner should measure approximately 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to
end. If the tensioner does not read 72 mm (2.83 in) (a) from end to end, repeat steps 3-5.

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2166891&pubCellSyskey=162423&pub... 11/15/2010
Document ID: 2166891 Page 4 of 4

7. Inspect to ensure all dirt and debris is removed from the timing chain tensioner threaded
hole in the cylinder head.

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.

Note: Ensure the timing chain tensioner seal is centered throughout the torque procedure to
eliminate the possibility of an oil leak.

8. Install the timing chain tensioner assembly and tighten the tensioner to 75 N·m (55 lb ft).
9. The timing chain tensioner is released by compressing the tensioner 2 mm (0.079 in) which
will release the locking mechanism in the ratchet.

To release the timing chain tensioner, use a suitable tool with a rubber tip on the end. Feed
the tool down through the cam drive chest to rest on the cam chain. Then give a sharp jolt
diagonally downwards to release the tensioner.

10. Install the camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement.


11. Connect the negative battery cable. Refer to Battery Negative Cable Disconnection and
Connection.

surfaces. Do not scratch or gouge either surface.

Note: DO NOT use any other method or technique to clean these gasket surfaces.

• Use a NEW razor blade on the cylinder head and a NEW blade on the cylinder block.

http://localhost:9001/si/showDoc.do?docSyskey=2133677&pubCellSyskey=136084&pub... 11/15/2010
Document ID: 2133677 Page 8 of 14

Note: Be careful not to gouge or scratch the gasket surfaces. DO NOT gouge or scrape
the combustion chamber surfaces. The feel of the gasket surface is important, not the
appearance. There will be indentations from the gasket left in the cylinder head after all
of the gasket material is removed. These small indentations will be filled in by the NEW
gasket.

• Hold the razor blade as parallel to the gasket surface as possible.


31. Clean the old sealer/lube and any dirt from around the bolt holes.

Note: DO NOT use a tap to clean the cylinder head bolt holes.

32. Clean the bolts holes with a nylon bristle brush.


33. When cleaning the cylinder head bolt holes use suitable commercial spray liquid solvent and
compressed air from an extended-tip blow gun in order to reach the bottom of the holes.
