Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Alignment Procedure

1. Make an alignment pin from drill rod 15/64 inch diameter and at least 50 mm (1.97 in) long.
2. If necessary remove the black alignment plug on the actuator and verify that the alignment pin will pass through the CMP actuator solenoid alignment hole.
3. Verify that the alignment pin will fit into the alignment hole in the CMP actuator oil control valve.
4. Apply a 2 mm (0.079 in) bead of RTV GM P/N 12378521 (Canadian P/N 88901148) around the flange of the CMP actuator solenoid.
5. Install the CMP actuator solenoid over the oil control valve.
6. Install the alignment pin through the solenoid alignment hole and into the oil control valve alignment hole.
7. With the alignment pin in place, install the CMP actuator solenoid bolts and tighten to 8 N.m (71 lb in).
8. Remove the alignment pin.
9. Install a NEW CMP actuator solenoid plug.
10. Connect the electrical connector to the actuator solenoid.
11. Install the radiator hose to the water outlet housing.
12. Install the engine sight shield. Refer to «Intake Manifold Sight Shield Replacement»(ref-338139-S02548253932009081700000) .
13. Fill the engine cooling system. Refer to «Cooling System Draining and Filling (GE 47716)»(ref-338194-S38676017542009081700000) or «Cooling System Draining and Filling (Static Fill)»(ref-338194-S21329102432009081700000) .
