Pontiac Grand Prix Timing Chain
The Timing Chain in Pontiac Grand Prix vehicles plays a very important role of ensuring the correct relative speed of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft so as to allow proper timing of the opening and closing of the valves which are critical for proper running of the automobile. This metal chain is installed at the front of the engine and needs to be lubricated so as to function without producing much noise, it is preferred in high displacement engines. Timing chains have been employed in all the Grand Prix models manufactured after the 1990's given its reliability and a longer-life span rather than the rubber belt. Although timing chains are durable, problems can occur from lubrication or the component of the tensioner and the chain guides and a rattling sound coming from the engine is an indication. Since main chains will have restricted head length, noise and wear are also low in pushrod engines and hence it can also be utilized in various Pontiac Grand Prix aspects.
Each OEM Pontiac Grand Prix Timing Chain 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 Timing Chain Parts Questions & Experts Answers
- Q: How to remove and install the Timing Chain and Variable Timing Sprocket in 3.8L V6 engine on Pontiac Grand Prix?A: To remove the timing chain cover, slide the shim off the nose of the crankshaft, ensuring the shim's notch fits over the key in the crankshaft. Replace the timing chain if the total free play between the sprockets exceeds one inch to avoid erratic engine performance, loss of power, and reduced fuel mileage. Temporarily install the vibration damper bolt and turn the crankshaft clockwise to align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets directly opposite each other, with the camshaft sprocket marked by a dimple and the crankshaft sprocket by a raised dot. Remove the timing chain damper, detaching the spring on earlier models if necessary, and then remove the camshaft sprocket bolts, taking care not to turn the camshaft. Pull the camshaft sprocket and crankshaft sprocket forward alternately to remove them along with the timing chain as an assembly, followed by the camshaft gear. Clean the timing chain components with solvent and dry them with compressed air while wearing eye protection, then inspect for wear and damage, looking for deformed, chipped, pitted, polished, or discolored teeth. If the crankshaft has been disturbed, temporarily install the sprocket and turn the crankshaft until the mark on the crankshaft sprocket is at the top; if the camshaft was disturbed, do the same for the camshaft until its timing mark is at the bottom. Assemble the timing chain on the sprockets and slide the sprocket and chain assembly onto the shafts with the timing marks aligned, ensuring the balance shaft gears are also aligned before installing the camshaft timing chain sprocket. Install and tighten the camshaft sprocket bolt(s) to the specified torque, attach the timing chain damper assembly to the block, and install the spring. For 1994 and earlier models, install the camshaft thrust button and spring, securing it with grease. Lubricate the chain and sprocket with clean engine oil and install the timing chain cover, remembering to lubricate the oil pump cavity beforehand.
