How to on Camshaft change

Is there a How To anywhere for changing Camshafts on a 3.0v6 to all G-Cams?

Had a look in the maintenance section but I could not find one.

What will happen if you replace the cams? As I've known till now it only works in case of 2.5 V6s (more power), or Am I wrong?

if im right, the g cam has a longer valve event time. =more air on induction, however, dont think it would make much difference if it cant get out any quicker on the exhaust event......i may be wrong Roll Eyes

Anyway you can find all information in HAYNES. You need a cam lock kit to install timing belt again.

I suspect 4 G cams will, at best, make sod all difference.


To do it though is all self explanatory. Engine safe, cambelt off, camcovers off, spockets off, cams replaced, refit. I lot of stuff is 8Nm, so a good low range torque wrench is reqd.

Its critical the clamps do not get mixed.

Yep. Intake cam is already a "G" so you'll only be changing the exhaust. Not worth the bother IMHO.

I'm changing the Exhaust Cams to G Cams and also fitting 3.2 Exhaust Manifolds with either a sports cat system or no cats at all (going to have a the tubes made so when it comes to MOT time I can bolt the cats back on).

Hopefully all of this will give me some difference in power and response.
