Q: Timing chain, camshaft and crankshaft timing problems 2006 Dodge Ram 4.7L

Hi there - there are "camshaft timing tools" specific to every engine which are used for camshaft component repair to avoid just this scenario.These specialized tools keep the camshafts and crankshaft locked in the proper position ("crankshaft top dead center", aka TDC), so as to avoid camshaft and crankshaft movement, which could bend the valves while making other repairs. First task is to purchase or borrow these tools, carefully first turn each cam to its "TDC" position to install each camshaft fixture. Then make sure the crankshaft is at TDC, and install the crankshaft locking fixture if this has not already been done when removing the crankshaft damper pulley bolt. You will also need specialized tooling to adjust the camshaft phasers, the "variable timing" components located at the front of the camshaft. Follow the manufacturers service procedure for reinstalling cam chain guides, tensioner, chains, tensioner, etc. and timing the cams. For assistance, I recommend a timing chain replacement service performed by a mobile, professional mechanic, such as one from YourMechanic, who will come to your location, diagnose this problem, give you an accurate assessment of damage and cost estimate for repairs.
