2008 Cadillac XLR Camshaft

You should know that the secondary timing chain has black links that are used for alignment when the primary and secondary timing gear and chain assemblies are being installed together, and it is not necessary for the black chain links to be aligned with the camshaft actuator timing marks when the secondary chain and gear components are being serviced separately.

You should install a new gasket to the camshaft position actuator housing, the right camshaft position actuator housing to the right cylinder head, the actuator housing bolts and studs, the actuator housing bolts and studs, the wire harness retainers to the actuator housing studs, the right intake camshaft sensor, the right exhaust camshaft sensor, the supercharger drive belt tensioner, and the power steering reservoir.

You should remove the right exhaust camshaft sensor, the right intake camshaft sensor, the wire harness retainers from the actuator housing studs, the right camshaft cover, the supercharger drive belt tensioner, the power steering reservoir, the right intake camshaft position actuator magnet bolts, the right intake camshaft position actuator magnet, the right intake camshaft position actuator magnet alignment plug and discard, the right exhaust camshaft position actuator magnet bolts, the right exhaust camshaft position actuator magnet, the right exhaust camshaft position actuator magnet alignment plug, the right camshaft position actuator housing bolts and the right camshaft position actuator housing.
