How do you properly remove and install camshafts and lifters in 3.2L V6 engine on Cadillac CTS?

Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, then rotate the engine until the #1 cylinder is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Remove the valve cover(s) and the timing belt. Rotate the crankshaft 60 degrees counterclockwise to prevent the valves from possibly hitting the pistons, then remove the camshaft sprocket bolts and sprockets. Each camshaft bearing cap has a double-digit identifying number etched on it, with specific numbering for the exhaust and intake camshaft bearing caps on both sides of the engine. Loosen the camshaft bearing cap bolts progressively by half a turn at a time to gradually release the pressure of the valve springs. Withdraw the caps, noting their markings and the presence of locating dowels, then remove the camshafts and front oil seals, identifying the intake and exhaust camshafts by their respective stamps. Use twelve small, clean containers to store each Lash Adjuster, ensuring they are not interchanged. With the camshafts and Lash Adjusters removed, check for signs of wear and measure the outside diameter of each Lash Adjuster at multiple points. Visually examine the camshaft lobes and bearing journals for wear or pitting, and measure the diameter of each journal. To check the bearing journal running clearance, clean all bearing surfaces, install the camshafts and bearing caps with Plastigage across each journal, then measure the width of the compressed strands. If any bearing is worn beyond specified limits, install a new camshaft and repeat the check. For camshaft endplay, clean the bearing surfaces, install the camshafts and bearing caps, then measure the endplay using a dial indicator. If the endplay exceeds specified limits, install a new camshaft. Confirm the crankshaft is positioned at 60 degrees BTDC, then oil the cylinder head Lash Adjuster bores and install the Lash Adjusters in their original positions. Oil the camshaft bearing surfaces and install the camshafts in their original locations, ensuring the pins are positioned correctly. Apply silicone sealer to the forward edge of the front bearing caps and check that all mating surfaces are clean. Oil the camshaft journals and lobes, then install each camshaft bearing cap, ensuring the numbered side faces outwards. Tighten the camshaft bearing cap bolts in sequence until each cap touches the cylinder head, then to the specified torque. Coat the lip of the camshaft seal with clean engine oil, press it into the end of the bearing cap, and use a seal driver to ensure it is flush and square. Finally, install the camshaft sprockets to the correct camshafts, ensuring the camshaft pin is in the same numbered slot on the sprocket it was removed from, and tighten the new camshaft sprocket bolt to the specified torque.

Cadillac CTS Camshaft

The camshaft in Cadillac CTS vehicles also function to open and close the intake and exhaust valves which allows the air/fuel mixture into the chamber with the exhaust gas released out. Made of cast iron or steel the Cadillac CTS camshaft work through several processes like, OHV, SOHC and DOHC each with different effects on the engine. Performance camshafts, which may be beneficial for a Cadillac CTS modified for performing well in Carrera Cup, compared to standard camshafts have greater lift and longer duration of operation, which improve inflow of air into cylinder heads and thus potency of the vehicle, particularly in case it runs at high number of turns per minute. Additional parameters including Lobe Separation Angle (LSA) influence torque and idle and enable customization of the vehicle according to certain driving requirements. In a nutshell, the Cadillac CTS camshaft is vital in the improvement of the engine performance and power output if used.

Each OEM Cadillac CTS Camshaft we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part. Furthermore, we guarantee the speedy delivery of your orders right to your doorstep. Our hassle-free return policy is also in place for your peace of mind.

Q: How do you properly remove and install camshafts and lifters in 3.2L V6 engine on Cadillac CTS?
A: Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal, then rotate the engine until the #1 cylinder is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke. Remove the valve cover(s) and the Timing Belt. Rotate the crankshaft 60 degrees counterclockwise to prevent the valves from possibly hitting the pistons, then remove the camshaft sprocket bolts and sprockets. Each camshaft bearing cap has a double-digit identifying number etched on it, with specific numbering for the exhaust and intake camshaft bearing caps on both sides of the engine. Loosen the camshaft bearing cap bolts progressively by half a turn at a time to gradually release the pressure of the valve springs. Withdraw the caps, noting their markings and the presence of locating dowels, then remove the camshafts and front oil seals, identifying the intake and exhaust camshafts by their respective stamps. Use twelve small, clean containers to store each Lash Adjuster, ensuring they are not interchanged. With the camshafts and Lash Adjusters removed, check for signs of wear and measure the outside diameter of each Lash Adjuster at multiple points. Visually examine the camshaft lobes and bearing journals for wear or pitting, and measure the diameter of each journal. To check the bearing journal running clearance, clean all bearing surfaces, install the camshafts and bearing caps with Plastigage across each journal, then measure the width of the compressed strands. If any bearing is worn beyond specified limits, install a new camshaft and repeat the check. For camshaft endplay, clean the bearing surfaces, install the camshafts and bearing caps, then measure the endplay using a dial indicator. If the endplay exceeds specified limits, install a new camshaft. Confirm the crankshaft is positioned at 60 degrees BTDC, then oil the cylinder head Lash Adjuster bores and install the Lash Adjusters in their original positions. Oil the camshaft bearing surfaces and install the camshafts in their original locations, ensuring the pins are positioned correctly. Apply silicone sealer to the forward edge of the front bearing caps and check that all mating surfaces are clean. Oil the camshaft journals and lobes, then install each camshaft bearing cap, ensuring the numbered side faces outwards. Tighten the camshaft bearing cap bolts in sequence until each cap touches the cylinder head, then to the specified torque. Coat the lip of the camshaft seal with clean engine oil, press it into the end of the bearing cap, and use a seal driver to ensure it is flush and square. Finally, install the camshaft sprockets to the correct camshafts, ensuring the camshaft pin is in the same numbered slot on the sprocket it was removed from, and tighten the new camshaft sprocket bolt to the specified torque.
