grab the gear and turn it? i have mine ripped apart right now aswell, put a wrench on the nut and just turn it to where you want it aligned

Is there a difference between a camshaft and a cambelt?
The cambelt connects the camshaft to the crankshaft, the belt drives the camshaft and keeps it in the correct timing (when the valves open/close in relation to the crankshaft angle.)
What is the difference between a camshaft and a crankshaft?
The connecting rods and pistons are connected to the crankshaft. Ignition of the air/fuel mixture in the combustion chamber pushes the pistons down which rotates the crankshaft which generates the engines torque/power. The camshaft controls the opening and closing of the valves which allows the air/fuel mixture to flow in and out of the engine. The camshaft is driven by the crankshaft and is kept in proper sequence by a timing belt/chain or gears.
How Crankshaft sensor can identify the position of Crankshaft?
A Crankshaft sensor is primarily used for speed sensing. It follows the principle of a rotary encoder. Another important function of the Crankshaft sensor is to ensure synchronization of operation between the Crankshaft and Camshaft with the help of Camshaft sensor. The sensing wheel contains a series of equispaced drilled hole or slots. Usually there will be one longer slot or a missing slot which will be used to position the Crankshaft absolutely with respect to the TDC of the first Cylinder. This positioning of the Sensing wheel is compared with the positioning of a similar sensing wheel on the Camshaft to ensure synchronous operation.
What is a DTC P0017 for a 2005 Trailblazer?
poo17 is the powertrain control module uses the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor information is to monitor the correlation between the crankshaft and the camshaft position sensors if the deviation exceeds a calibrated amount dtc poo17 will set see the dealer to have this updated
What is cam-crank correlation?
The camshaft and crankshaft have to be properly synchronized. If one is not timed properly then the other is effectively off as well, thus the correlation between the two.
How Does Valve Work?
u mean valve of a engine.....? here's the answer... when the crankshaft rotates,then with the help of timing gear the camshaft rotates.timing gears are the gears on crankshaft(pinion) and camshaft(gear). when the cams on the crankshaft rotates it lifts up the follower(during eccentric portion of the cam). follower is connected to a push rod which moves the rocker about a point. rocker presses the valve stem in avalve guide againt the spring pressure. the valve comes down from the valve seat. and our fuel air mixture rushes inside the cylnder. when the non eccentric portion of the cam on the camshaft comes valve stem moves up due to spring pressure. the timing gears are such that they maintain a speed ratio of two between them. it means camshaft has to rotate at half the speed of crankshaft. it is because a valve has to open and close once in every two revolutions of the crankshaft.
Is there a difference between timing belt and fan belt?
Yes , the fan belt drives the engine accessories , the timing belt is used to keep the engine crankshaft and pistons " in time " with the camshaft and valves
How do you replace the camshaft position sensor on Nissan Altima?
The camshaft position sensor is located near the thermostat housing. You should replace the crankshaft position sensor as well. This one is much harder to locate....it is on the backside of the engine that is between the firewall and the engine block. Both use the same sensor.
How do you change the water pump on a 2000 neon and where is it?
The water pump on that neon is located in the distribution belt with between the camshaft and crankshaft pulley, you have to change also the belt, the problem with that is that it is really difficult to remove the crankshaft pulley, you need a very special extractor for that. Removing the water pump is really easy.
What are the major differences and similarities between gear drive and chain drive?
They are similar in that both designs give longer service life compare to a belt driven camshaft and they do not need replacement within the expected life of the engine. They are different in that a chain driven camshaft is turned by a chain running off the crankshaft and a gear driven set up transmits the turning force from the crankshaft all the way up to the camshaft using gears alone. A chain drive set up may have some sort of tensioning device for the chain that may occasionally wear out
How much does a camshaft cost?
The cost of a camshaft will vary depending on the vehicle. The average cost for a camshaft is between $150 and $200.
What is a cam sprocket?
A cam sprocket is a part which is attached to one end of a cam shaft in an engine. A cam sprocket, along with the timing belt maintain the timing between the camshaft and crankshaft, which ensures that the engine runs properly.
