996 3.6ltr Cam Timing HELP!!
Several months ago I replaced the Clutch and RMS on my car '02 996 C4S 3.6ltr engine. At the moment, I also replaced the IMS cover. After a couple of months I saw that the IMS was still leaking, so I decided to disassemble again and install the LN Eng bearing kit.
I just finished the installation and it seems tha I screw it up!!! The cam timing is off !!!!!!!!!!!!
I did lock the Intermediate shaft, but this time I decided to use the method proposed by Wayne, which involves locking the Intermediate shaft sprocket using three set screws through the holes of the IMS cover. Not sure what went wrong. Maybe I did not tightened them enough, but it seem that one of the cams jumped, because the timing is off.
I started the engine and I immediately got the Check Engine light. I read the codes and I got P300, P301, P302,P303, which means misfire in cyl 1,2 and 3.
Now, my question. Is it possible to adjust the timing on a '02 3.6 996 engine while on the car? If so, can anyone explain the procedure for this?
Thanks in advance
PS: I posted on the 996 forum first, but it seems that it is not as active as this one, so I am taking my chance here
