Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Read lots of literature from different sources but I am confused, Do I really need to pull all 4 cam plugs if I am using the LN tool?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm about to replace the IMS with an LN unit in my 02 C4S. Bought LN tools. Read lots of literature from different sources but I am confused, Do I really need to pull all 4 cam plugs if I am using the LN tool? Which chain tensioners do I need to loosen. Seems to me I need to only remove the plugs from the driver side rear end (closest to rear bumper) of cyls 1-3 and install the tool designed for 3 chain engines while locked in at TDC and loosen the one tensioner, Is this correct? Which tool is considered the LN easy out? Nothing looks like any easyout I have ever use. What is the little threaded nut like thing with the wire attached to used for?

POST 2Original post

Did they come with instructions? If so, follow them to the letter.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have not ordered the bearing yet as I want to be positive it is a single vs dual race prior to purchasing a new one. Was told by the supplier instructions are not provided but I have gone on LN's site and was able to download them. Its not clearly indicated which cams to lock nor which chain tensioners need to be loosened.

If your engine is the original, it is a three chain single row. LN's IMS instructions clear state what needs to be done: http://lnengineering.com/files/IMSR-Instruction-Warranty.pdf

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
