Hi all fitted in the g cams and now she is not running right, do the hydraulic tappers need draining?? Fires up but like no power timing has been checked and that's spot on thinking just to put the old ones back in any ideas people thanks

[Webby the Bear]

Has this happened before when cams are put in and mixed up? i.e. inlet and exh cams mixed up?

[2.5v6]

Cams are in the right place both on inlet, timing I spot on I've check and all the marking line up I took pictures before all cams were removed no dash lights on just no power what so ever, when the belt was put on the markings on it lined up to the markings on all pulleys

leads on this dispac in the right order?

[2.5v6]

Yep they were marked too gona strip it down again and check the timing sprockets

[Webby the Bear]

Good idea 

Are you using a locking kit for the timing?

[JamesV6CDX]

Are you using A cams on the exhaust side?

[2.5v6]

Right figured out what it was, cam number 3 was out 180 degrees!!!! Total cock up by myself she working fine now tho, please be gentle lol

Ouch, you were VERY lucky. Glad you solved it though.

And a lesson to all, as I don't get the impression that 2.5v6 is exactly clueless about these things, so it's definitely worth being super-super careful for those of us that may be fiddling with the cams at some point. (ie me this summer!- gulp!)

Glad you're sorted.

Anyone removing the cams sprockets take pics on how the location pins are located was looking in the Haynes manual and they were showing differently but I stuck to my original pictures so happy nothing went bang lol,I have Haynes manual in PDF format just PM moi, hope not breaking any rules on the forum !!

Are these installed into a 2.5....?

Get the 'long nose' conversion done to replace most of the torque thats lost....

How many G cams did you install... all 4 or just the 2 exhaust cams...?

[2.5v6]

They were replaced on a 2.5 v6, only replaced the inlet cams, by long nose you mean the manifold from a 3 litre?

No he means the longer penlium, but Ideally 3.0 manifold and the longer penlium / shorter throttle body hoses.

[2.5v6]

I meant that lol, is it a straight swop ie acc and cruise control cable no extensions requried due to the longer nose
