I also cut the condenser port mounting tabs off. The aftermarket condenser coil didn’t fit perfectly to the tabs. I think that maybe this will also make a future radiator job easier.

I cut about 5/8 in. off of the ear. There’s no way it hurts the radiator. I have a feeling there’s a new radiator in my future, and this will make next time easier (maybe).

Coolant crossover, EGR plenum (?), and EGR ready. URO crossover. Wish me luck on that.

Things just went south, literally. As I was relocating the wiring harness for the A/C compressor bracket I heard a light snap then some clankity-clank noises. By shear luck, I found the cracked plastic mounting clip with my borescope. There’s no way in h I can extract it. I’m trying to talk myself out of pulling the front cover, but I don’t think I can.

I forgot to mention earlier, the new idler pulley has rails on both edges. There’s a TSB, LTB00067 4/7/2009, that I didn’t understand until I installed the pulley and it rubbed the bracket. I had to shave a little bit with a Dremel for clearance.

Front cover and harmonic balancer torqued. Crank spec is 280 ft. lbs. My torque wrench goes to 250 so I hit that plus a smidge.

Replace the seals on the VCT solenoid housing and install. These seals are Teflon split seals, not o-rings like the book says.

With the primary guides, chain, and tensioner in place, there’s a special tool that fits on the exhaust gear. With the crank locked at the flex plate, and the cams locked, the gears are in time with the chains on and tensioner retaining pins removed. The idea now is to lock the gears to the shafts. While holding the gears in place by applying counter clockwise force to the exhaust gear, tighten the intake gear bolt to 15 ft. lb. Then get your cheater bars out and tighten another 90 degrees.

It took soft pressing several times to ensure the seal was fully seated evenly around the opening.

The red plastic piece works to both press the seal to its proper depth, and it keeps the inner diameter PTFE seal expanded until installation. I learned that these PTFE seals must be installed dry. Do not oil the seal for install.

New phasers arrived. They’re date coded to October, 24th and 25th of 2009. Makes me wonder how many of these are available. The boxes did look a bit aged.

LH cams are locked. Had to re-drill cam holder holes on one tool. The holes were a hair off and wouldn’t fit right. Didn’t take much. The bolts were too long also so I used some spacers. Cheap tools.

Insert the special crank locking tool. This was a pretty snug fit. The mounting hole is a bit off center so I couldn’t lock it down, but it won’t move. Cheap tools.
