Removal & Installation
3.8L Engine
- Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the precautions at the beginning of this section.
- Record the radio anti theft code data.
- Remove the engine from the vehicle.
- Remove the drive belt. Remove the power steering pump. Remove the air conditioning compressor.
- Remove the alternator. Remove the drive belt idler. Remove the drive belt tensioner. Remove the water pump pulley. Remove the intake manifold.
- Remove the connector bracket from the left cylinder head cover. Disconnect the right ignition coil connector, condenser connector and remove the bracket.
- Remove the left cylinder head cover retaining bolts. Remove the cylinder head cover from the engine.
- Remove the right cylinder head cover retaining bolts. Remove the cylinder head cover from the engine.
- Set the No. 1 cylinder to TDC on the compression stroke. Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark T of the lower timing chain cover.
- Check that the mark of the camshaft timing sprockets are in straight line positioning on the cylinder head surface. If not rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees. Do not rotate the engine counterclockwise.
- Remove the oil pan. Remove the crankshaft damper pulley. Remove the timing chain cover.
NOTE
Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder head and timing chain cover. Before removing the timing chain, mark the right and left timing chains with an identification mark based on the location of the sprocket because the identification mark on the chain for TDC can be erased.
- After compressing the timing chain tensioner, install a set pin. Remove the right cam to cam guide. Remove the right timing chain auto tensioner and timing chain tensioner arm.
- Remove the oil pump chain cover. Remove the oil pump chain tensioner assembly. Remove the oil pump chain guide. Remove the right timing chain.
-
- Remove the left cam to cam guide. Remove the left timing chain auto tensioner and timing chain tensioner arm. RemNeed timing gear marks for 2004 Kia Sadona 3.5L - enlarge_icon.gifing chain.
Need timing gear marks for 2004 Kia Sadona 3.5L - enlarge_tooltip.gif>Remove the left timing chain guide. Remove the crankshaft sprocket and left camshaft drive. Remove the tensioner adapter assembly.

To install:
- Check the camshaft and crankshaft sprockets for wear and damage, replace as required.
- Inspect the tensioner arm and chain guide for wear and damage, replace as required.
- Check that the tensioner pin moves smoothly when the ratchet pawl is released with a thin rod.
- The key of the crankshaft should be aligned with the timing mark of the timing chain cover. This indicates that the piston is at TDC on the compression stroke.
- Install the tensioner adapter assembly. Install thNeed timing gear marks for 2004 Kia Sadona 3.5L - 0996b43f80201924.jpgt and left camshaft drive.
