2006 Chevrolet Colorado Timing Chain

The proper way is to install the crankshaft sprocket to the crankshaft snout, install the intake camshaft sprocket into the timing chain, install the timing chain on the crankshaft sprocket, install the new intake camshaft sprocket bolt, and then install the camshaft cover.

The procedure is to remove the camshaft cover, remove the camshaft position (CMP) sensor, remove the engine front cover, remove the exhaust camshaft position actuator bolt, remove the exhaust camshaft position actuator, remove the intake camshaft sprocket bolt, remove the intake camshaft sprocket, remove the timing chain, and then remove the crankshaft sprocket.
