Pontiac Grand Prix Camshaft Seal
The Pontiac Grand Prix Camshaft Seal helps keep your engine clean and lubricated as a vital gatekeeper for your engine. The Camshaft Seal, found at the end of the camshaft where it comes out of the cylinder head, seals the gap between moving parts so that dust, dirt, and stray oil are blocked. The Camshaft Seal keeps lubricant contained in that narrow passage to ensure a steady flow of oil to the cam lobes. As such, the valve timing is precise and the engine won't grind or overheat. This simple yet important barrier also helps to stop contaminants from the outside, preventing them from getting inside the bearings and extending the service life of the component without a huge maintenance cost. Over the years that Pontiac has been in production, it has received one type of Camshaft Seal because its flexible design already has all the essential characteristics of reliability, tight sealing, and ease of installation for every Grand Prix model year. Due to this tight fitting, each Pontiac Grand Prix puts the oil where it belongs, breathes cleaner air, and gets good fuel economy without the use of additional sealing gadgets. Checking the Camshaft Seal regularly for any cracks or hardening will help drivers catch any leaks early before serious damage can occur. It can also help drivers save on unnecessary repairs and even ensure longevity of the vehicle.
Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix Camshaft Seal 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.
Pontiac Grand Prix Camshaft Seal Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: What steps should be followed for the installation and inspection of the camshaft,Cam Gear,Camshaft Seal and Lash Adjuster in 3.4L V6 engine on Pontiac Grand Prix?A:This procedure will require special tools available at automotive tool companies and some auto part stores. If the specialty tools, such as camshaft timing clamps, camshaft sprocket holding tool, and camshaft and intermediate shaft sprocket remover, are not available, obtain similar tools and adapt them for this application. Begin by removing the cam carrier and the Lash Adjusters from the cam carrier housing, keeping the Lash Adjusters in order for reinstallation. Turn the camshafts so the "flats" are facing up, then install the special camshaft timing clamp tool. Remove the camshaft sprocket bolts using the sprocket holding tool to hold the sprockets while loosening the bolts. Use a puller to remove the sprockets and then take out the flat ring from the sprocket bore. Next, remove the camshaft thrust plate cover and the thrust plate, followed by the timing clamp, and carefully withdraw the camshafts through the back of the cam carrier, ensuring not to damage the camshaft journals. Remove the seals from the carrier by carefully prying them out with a screwdriver, taking care not to damage the aluminum seating surface in the carrier. Inspect for damage or pitting on the camshaft lobes, check the nose of the camshaft for brinelling, and examine the camshaft journals inside the carrier for wear or damage. When installing the camshaft, exercise care to avoid damaging the seal, and coat the camshaft lobes and journals with moly-base grease or engine assembly lube prior to installation, ensuring the arrow on the thrust plate points up. Install the camshaft seal using a large socket and a hammer, or a piece of pipe if a large socket isn't available, making sure the seal enters the bore squarely and stops when the front face is at the same depth as the original seal. Finally, the remainder of the installation is the reverse of removal, and be sure to check cam timing after reassembly and before starting the engine.
