Torques 9 ftlbs on thermostat.

Is it a must to drain the bottom part or I can just directly replace the thermostat and refill ?

Another question: I didn't realize it was burning oil because there was no smoke. But I guess the catalytic converter took care of that. Did that stress the cat con -- does it need to be replaced?

Your video inspires me to fix my own 2.4L Ecotec (2012 Terrain)! Question: do you have any idea how All-Wheel Drive affects the job? Thanks

Did it blow up

Good ideas here.

They dont make tanks for the 1972 impala. Would you know another company that makes efi tanks for 72 impala

Thank you for showing this. Helped me a lot.

Where can I hear them?

Did you time the engine before the disassembly? Is it important to time the engine before disassembly?

Is that hot enough to disturb the temper of the fastener? Do you only use it on non graded bolts?

Why didn’t you put the muffler inside the side pipe?

You do not have to worry about ring gap with these rings?

Doesn't it need to be purged?

19:02 Just when I think that this isht only happens to me. Hahaha, thanks for the video. The cut scene to it installed perfectly had me dieing, hahaha

Greatly appreciated sir, thank you.

A fan under the car? Was that a joke?

I like to see how you paint crazy plum purple how you mix the color.

You should never activate the tensioner until its torqued to spec , you press on the guide and it activates , as your chain stretches overtime it extends

I've watched your series over and over, this was my holy Bible when doing the valves and timing on my terrain. Thanks for the great video. 😊

Great help😊😊😊

Nicely done! You explain things very well.

Awesome video! Super helpful and hope to see more!

Looks like you can use those as prototype, make a jig and reproduce them!

Does thos product work well? Worth it ? I have a 4l60e pullin a trialer in this summer heat. Temps hit 200 even plis and trans poops

Awesome video, bro. How did you come to the decision of not honing the cylinders for the new rings? I apologize if you mentioned that during the install. I'm asking because I'm wondering how far to go on a 2011 chevy malibu 2.4 that my mother in law gave me. Has 190k miles, and I'm replacing the timing and everything involved with that, and I'm wondering if I should remove the head and possibly rering the pistons. I have done a ton of research, and everyone does differently. I like your content, so I wanted your opinion if you would share it with me. I know the cars history and lack of maintenance. I would like the car to last as long as I can make it last. The reason I want to remove the head is that she kept having to have coolant added with no visible coolant leaks and areas around the engine with dried coolant to indicate a leak. I would appreciate your take on how far you would go and about honing before you put new rings. Thanks bro I appreciate any advice, and your content is awesome. Thank you!!

Nice video i’m getting ready to do my 2.4 L engine and I have a question I see in the video you didn’t hone the cylinder. We do you flex hone the cylinder?

It doesn’t require a relay?

Question. The camshafts have about 1/8" play from front to back (relative to the motor) before tightening them down. I centered them up so the wear line on the front of the shaft matched the outside of the head, and the machined parts lined up with the bearings they sit in. Still, it's a little concerning that I have 1/8" of leeway to choose where it sits exactly before I tighten it down. The tapered flanges on the front of the camshaft were maybe 1/16" away from the inside of the head like that. Do you know exactly how that's supposed to be positioned?

just finished up a 2.4 rebuild doing valves and chain for my first time ever thank you for the detailed videos i watched them several times. helped me out a ton!

is that a Th400 crossmemeber?

Where are you located so that you can do that to mine

You don't mention it in the video, but the valve retainers are tapered, and the thicker part should be towards the top.

Really clean, like it!

Did you have to bleed or burp the system?

bro never ever us a metal object to attempt to hold any sprockets n it looked like u used the old sprocket since ya chipped a tooth on the new one n then it could be seen u using the the same tool again on other sprockets! geez man a wooden dowel or like my dad uses nylon tool he ground to shape to wedge against the sprockets so theres no damage n did u torqe the bolts to 59inch lbs?

Any oil consumption issues since fixing this? I'm looking at doing this repair myself.

Link to the fittings on the transmission

This is an amazing video. I am facing the same job, and this is going to be invaluable. Thanks

Still pondering a junk yard fi tank from something? My pans gone. I even thought of any tank/in the trunk with a fire wall behind the rear seat. Really rusted 67 malibu. Ha!

Cheap of them not including the co u pling

Also can I do this with flux or stick? That’s what I have.

I wanted to patch my manifold but now that it’s off I can’t find the pinhole cracks even with air pressure and soap 😅

Do you have the link to what relay setup you used for the temp sensor is it just a 4 pin relay?

Does putting new rings in stop the oil burning issue with these engines?

Clean install! Are you running a relay? Is there an on/off switch for manual on? Thanks

I like the way you did this.

No need to hone cylinders? Just curious. I've always heard cylinders need to be hone if installing new rings.

I really liked my 08 Malibu 2.4. Good power and pretty reliable. Never had chain issues. My in laws own it and it’s at 200k with zero major repairs. Thinking of buying it back for my son. Mostly freeway miles, but good engines in my opinion. People just don’t keep up with oil changes. I’d always perform the change at 30%.

I used a Dodge Durango chassis under my 1954 international metro
