CAS install help

[aaronscomp]

Ok i got my ca18det running after soldering a dsm resistor in but how do u line this cas up ive flipped it like 10 times it finnaly ran good i thought the timing was off a little.just so i pulled it out to move it over now i cant get it back to where it runs. When i bought the motor the cas was pulled out ive searched google and here and checked the fsm any help would be great. i would think it would only go in one way or have some sort of marks

well i can say i took mine off and theres a groove on the inside of the cam gear and on the CAS you have to match it up to the groove on the cam gear if you need anymore help i can take detailed pictures

directions are in your FSM.

ya i couldnt find it in the fsm but ya i see the keyway in the CAS but im just not sure about the one in the cam

Take a pic of the inside of the end of the exhaust cam where the CAS goes into. It's not uncommon for that piece to break or fall out.

ok heres a pic my cas is broke for good now went to go pull it out the shaft stayed in the cam but ill have another one shortly

[float_6969]

It looks intact. You might put a little engine oil on the o-ring that's on the shaft of the cas, that should let is slide in a little easier.

Other than that, just look at the CAS and make sure it matches up with the slot in the exhaust cam.
