Condition
The technician may experience a misfire immediately after installing a GM remanufactured HFV6 engine, usually limited to 1 bank or 1 cylinder.
Cause
This condition may be caused by the wrong camshaft being installed in the engine at the
reman facility.
Correction
If you experience this concern, inspect the camshafts to ensure the correct camshaft is
installed in each intake and exhaust position by comparing the ring strategy to either the
engine that was removed (best way) or the charts below for the engine you are
working on.

Information
Note: Ring strategy camshaft identification is a series
of rings along the camshaft that are either simply cast
on the camshaft or machined down.
There are 5 rings on each camshaft.
Identification occurs by the order in which the machined
or cast rings are placed on the camshaft.
