TechGuyMI Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Hello, I am chasing issues with my wife's 2011 2.5, and I am dealing with what I am 99% sure is a broken phaser. Sound is loudest when I stethoscope the corner of the head closest to the phaser. I had the valve cover off already and couldn't see any obvious damage, but the camshaft does have some play relative to the timing sprocket on the phaser, so I am guessing the spring inside is broken or something. I pulled codes and I don't remember the code, but it indicates a detected over retarded position, so all signs to me point to a broken phaser. I have ordered timing parts and I have the tools to hold everything in place to time it. I'm familiar with the timing procedure itself, but I am wondering if anyone can help me with the critical bolt torquing procedure/specs for this engine since it is not keyed timing and there are "diamond washers" to hold the crank gear in place. I don't want to under torque the bolts and have it slip on me! This engine runs well otherwise and is quite clean inside for its age so I don't want to wreck it. Thanks in advance! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TechGuyMI Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Bump. Still looking for the torque procedure for the VCT camshaft phaser and crank pulley/timing gear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
