Chrysler Repair: 3.2L cam timing, cam sprockets, timing belt replacement


Question
Thanks for taking the time to read this question - I decided to change my cam seals during timing belt replacement (bad decision) - did not realize that the cam sprockets were not keyed to the cams - so I screwed up cam timing by removing the sprockets - after doing some research I realize special tool(2) is required to set cam timing - how difficult is this job, what else has to come apart and where can I obtain tool - thanks, bob

Hi Bob,
There appear to be a pilot hole on the end of each camshaft which are held in place by mating with the special tool (one for each shaft) #6642. I would suspect these are made by the Miller tool co. which historically does the Chrysler tools.
You might try calling to tool retailers to see who carries the Miller line. If not, probably a dealer or maybe on the internet. They don't look to be all that complex so may not be too expensive.
I can xerox copy and postal mail you the three pages from my '98 factory manual that show how to do the installation. They also recommend new bolts, and notice they are of different length.
Let me know a postal mailing address and I will get the page in the mail to you on Monday.
