Thread: Camshaft Removal/Install

Might seem dumb to ask with our car being FWD but Is there any video's/pics out there on how to remove Cam without taking the motor out? Any easy alternative will help. Thanks!

I'd try searching billboost's posts. He has a lot of stuff like that. I know you'll have to drop the subframe on the passenger side, and obviously remove the balancer, cps, timing cover, alternator bracket, alternator, water pump, hoses, timing chain tensioner and chain sprockets and chain, course all the electrical connectors, drain coolant and oil, I think to get everything to come out, you'll need to remove the upper and lower intake manifold, valve covers, loosen rockers, remove pushrods and lifters.

Personally, I would prefer to just pull the engine, but that's preference.

Yeah ha, might as well after all that huh haha.. I'll search him up for sure. Thanks!! I might end up buying or try to barrow engine hoist and stand. Seems easier that way. Thought there was a trick I didn't know about out there haha

Haha yeah, it's a pita either way. Since the engine has to flex all the way down for clearances, you pretty much end up removing almost everything you would to remove the engine, but now you're cramped up under the wheel well too! Probably would be decent with a real car lift, but I'm assuming you're like most of us stuck on the ground!

bill boost 100% has the best engine removal how-to. I've used it a few times.
