This is part 1 of how to change the timing chain and replace the timing chain cover which has an integrated oil pump. This oil pump has become very noisy on this vehicle and needs to be replaced.

The timing chain was likely fine, as the vehicle only has about 75k miles, but when you go through this much labor, it’s just a good idea to replace it.

This is a great video, and precisely describes the problem I have. A general question: what is the risk/outlook for the engine if I didn't do this repair?

I have to do the same exact job on the same car and now watching you I am not looking forward to doing this at all by any chance do you know how many hours it took you to complete thank you

Oh my gosh, so many bolts… I lost track… I think I would place each set of bolts pertaining to its own parts in plastic bags and also label those specific larger bolts using color stickers. Nice work 50

Jesus have mercy… I have to do all of that to fix my timing chain? I watched this entire video in utter disbelief. Believe me, I've have this car for 14 years, and I am the only person to work on it. This car has turned me Into a mechanic, not by profession. It's fun but Jesus I wish some things were simpler. I'm literally sitting here laughing at you, untill I realized I'm gna have to do it pretty soon. Looks like ur gna get the last laugh. My cars prolly only worth 1k but it's been so reliable and I've put so much work Into it that it's hard for me to move on. Anyways… I need sleep. Thanks for the good laugh

So, 50sKid, When you completed the job and restarted the car the wining noise was gone.  Long term did the oil pump and timing chain replacement actually eliminate the wining noise?  or did it return in a mater of days, months?  Interested to now.

Recently got an 01. The only problem was the timing assembly needed to be replaced. How would you go about doing it?

As you were saying to drop the engine brace, I was thinking to myself, no way that'll fly here in Ohio. I've tried to remove it before and I know that the bolts will break if I try. …Then you said you're in California :'(

I'm only 14 mins in, but it looks lile he's not gonna pull the engine for this? Idk man, I think it would be WAY easier to pull the engine. There's hardly enough room.
