Hey i just had 11 cts come in and it had the tensioner on the passenger
head go bad. older mechanice took it all apart… didn’t mark the head
though. the crank chain and right chain are still in place and haven’t
been removed from the engine. thanks, for any help. if you want i will
give ya my email if it would be easier
Im doing this right now to my 07 saturn aura xr. went pretty easy after
watching this vid even with it being fwd. my question is? what made you
replace the cam phaser? when I spin the crank I can see the chain raise up
on the cam gear and it has a good amount of wear. is this just from the
chain being lose or do I have a two bad cam phasers? the engine sounder
like it had bad valve slap. any help would be great before I get it all
back together
I have got a code P0446 and was told it has to do with the Solenoid. Can
you please give me some instructions on how to change it. I kind of got a
glimpse of the solenoid when you assembled everything back together Thanks.
I have watched all three videos, three times now. I have a 2010 Camaro with
the crank sensor code. Will this be the same as doing the Cadillac timing
chains?
As long as you retain the chain from having any slack while the tensioner
and guide are off it wont make a difference. The crank and cams should be
marked as well to ensure you did install correctly, you can lock the cams
down but it’s not necc.
It takes me arround 8 hrs. The “book time” is what they are using, you
should challenge that and negotiate a lower rate. Book time is always very
generous.
hey fella, i appreciate the heck out of your vids my son and i are gonna
attempt it on my 2005, how close do you think the 04 and 05 are? also,
where did you buy the parts, the chains, etc is that a ‘dealer’ item’ only?

Very similar indeed. The same basic principles apply in both. I would
advise getting a manual from autozone or any parts supply place for
reference and be sure to mark every gear AND shaft before removal of the
chain as the cams will shift. If you have a camera it would also help you
in reassy. if you happen to forget how somthing goes, you could refer to
the photos.
Before u took the Timing Cover off u did position the #1 Piston at TDC
RIGHT? Correct me if I’m wrong u do suppose to rotate the Crank to TDC,
Lock the Cam than remove the Timing Chain / Tensioner correct…
They are known for going out. The one in the video was broken, visibly. The
other was “slapping” when the motor was turned manually. It would get to a
point where it jumped forward, it should not do that at all. Im not sure
what raising up on the gear means but it doesn’t sound good. Can you shoot
me a video of it ?

Hi. Please advise if anything needs to be done to startup after changing
timing chains. iI have hard time to start it up.

As I did this job two weeks ago and will be going back in in about a week,
do you recommend to replace that crank seal again?

How much is the dealer telling on cost?
That would be a great idea, while your there.

Sorry , been out of town. The parts are available all over, most parts
stores.
Hello, I see that this took 3 videos to complete. What’s the total
estimated completion time? My dealership is telling me 16 hours.
