Get a Chiltons/Haynes manual that covers the year/make/model or your car. It has entire section on rebuilding the engine and will give you torque specs, camshaft R/R, etc. Hmmm Having to take a camshaft out to put in head bolts does not seem to be one of Chrysler's better ideas.

SOURCE: bolt torque specs

I have used Haynes service manuals for (hate to admit it) many decades and I recommend you check to see if this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Haynes-Toyota-Automotive-Repair-Manual/dp/1563923513

doesn't cover your engine.

I have found darned few 'holes' in their coverage.

Auto parts stores carry these and I suspect that even though sealed, the sales people will not give you too hard of a time if you explain you want to insure you are getting what you need.

Haynes is not the same as it was 20 years ago before they were acquired by Chilton but the price/utility ratio is still pretty good.
Mostly I'm annoyed by the move to cheaper paper (newsprint)that is fussier, picks up dirt, tears more easily than the better paper of yore.

SOURCE: where can i get a replacement rear turn signal

You will need to know the bulb number and the any auto supply store should be able to cross it to the proper socket,pick up some b.u.t.t. connectors while you are there to fasten the old wires to the new connector.

How to change a water pump for a 2006 pt crusier

you must remove the timing belt cam gears and rear timing cover recomend replacing timing belt tensioners and all idler pulleys at same time, (this job takes me 4 hours and i remove the radiator condensorassembly to make it easier) you could damage you engine if you dont install your belt correctly.

I purchased a 2001 Pt Crusier of which the timing belt broke and they told me the engine was damaged due to it breaking during operation. I was also told it had no compression on two cylinders due to this...

timing this motor is a real bear, just did it to my 01 pt,but when done right it will hold 150-160 lbs in each cyc. I had to get a free print out from autozone,just make sure that the cam gears are a half or gear off, the print out will show all details needed.

My O5 pt crusier stop in the middle of the road when put on the machine it said the crank shaft sensor so which one do I need to buy the crank or cam shaft sensor?

The crank shaft sensor will be fitted over the front crankshaft pulley or where it can read the electronic signals generated from the flywheel....The way it works is to receive a magnetically generated signal which is transmitted to the management computer system....It basically indicates when the piston is at the ignition point of the engines cycle...As we're dealing with a four stroke engine, remember that the crankshaft makes four revolutions to two of the camshaft....The cam will give its own signal via its own sensor....Both are used to control the spark and firing of the plugs in the correct sequence and at the correct time....If the scan tool said the crank sensor I'd think that's the fault and stick to that....

How to replace a broken timing belt

Daewoo has interference engines in them, so if the timing belt broke while the engine was running, you will need to replace half of the valves which were bent when the pistons crashed into them when the cams stopped turning and the crank shaft continued to turn. Minimum of $700-1000.00 (usually more). If you do it all yourself and the valve guides are not damaged, still at least $400.00 worth of parts to fix. Pull plastic air dams around bottom of engine on front and right side . Support engine with jack. Drain antifreeze from engine and radiator. remove air filter housing and serpentine belt. remove front engine mount. remove cam belt cover. remove broken cam belt and check cam tensioner bearings and idler bearing as well. They are usually bad. Then remove spark plug cover. Remove valve cover. Remove intake from head. remove coil from head. remove heat shield from exhaust manifold then remove manifold from exhaust and from head. remove water hoses and connecting assemblies from side of head and rear of head. remove Cam shaft bearing caps loosening them all evenly so as not to bend cams. remove cams. remove head bolts. remove head. remove valve hydraulic lifters, compress valve springs and remove valve retainers and dissassemble valves. Clean everything very well. Make sure head is not damaged. Remove valve guide seals. install new valve guide seals, new valves. Seat valves with valve grinding compound. clean well. instal valves in reverse order of dissasembly. Before putting head on, make sure number 1 cylinder is at top dead center position. install head using proper torque of 18 ft # in a spiral application rotation from the center outward in a clockwise direction. Then do spiral rotation again tightening bolts each one-quarter turn. Repeat the tightening process two more times only turning the bolts one-quarter turn each time. Use new head bolts. They are designed to stretch in the process of installation and are not to be re-used. Align cams to proper orientation then bolt into place. do not overtorque cam bearing cap bolts. Less than 5 ft # of torque can stretch these bolts. Snug them then tighten them 90 degrees. Then tighten them another 90 degrees (quarter turn). Snug them all then go back and tighten all of them a quater turn, then go back and tighten all of them another quarter turn. Install the cam idler and tensioner and install the cam belt. then install the intake, exhaust and all other items in reverse order of assembly. Do not turn engine over unless you are sure you have the cam belt on with the crank shaft pulley aligned at top dead center and the intake and exhauste pulley marks aligned to their proper marks with the cam belt properly tensioned. You can't be even one tooth off. This must be right before you turn the engine over! Remove spark plugs and turn engine over by hand two rotation clockwise using a wrench on the center bolt of the crank shaft pulley. Check that the timing of cams is still perfect. If not, correct, retension cam belt, double check timing positions again then rotate engine two revolutions. Check cam timing positions again. The timing should not change! The engine should turn over relatively easily. If it feels like it doesn't want to turn, don't force it. You may have the timing off and be pressing a piston against a valve. If you are at this point, then you need to remove cam belt and unbolt cam shafts to release all tension on any of the valves. return the number one cylinder to top dead center position and then reinstall the cams and cam belt. Once it is assembled and in time, then reattatch the rest of the components that were removed in dissassembly. Do this in reverse order of dissassembly. then connect battery and fill radiator fluid. Start car.

Do you have to take the cam shafs off to remove the head bolts

They come off with the head. You only need to remove them if you can't get a socket into the head bolts.

Cylinder head

The head is directly under the plastic intake manifold. if you need to get to the head itself there is alot of clutter to remove first such as the intake manifold, coil pack, and tappet cover. Im not fully awake yet but can you tell me what the problem your having is that you need to check this. Always interested in cruisers.
