That was fast

Nice video. My daughter owns a 2010 Cobalt with this engine. Luckily it still runs good with about 135,000 miles on it. A shift solenoid in the transmission went out at the end of last year but she had it fixed. That job was more than I wanted to attempt so she had to take it somewhere for that repair.

Great video. The Escope is very nice. As a DIY'er I can't justify the cost but have watches Bernie Thompson from ATS use one in most of his videos. I do have a set of those clamp chassis ears to use with the scope that goes with my Thinktool Pros scanner. Joe's Auto Electric has magnetic holders that hold the wires if you have to do a test drive with the clamps installed.

I watched a couple videos, but this is the method I used. The only time it would be helpful to remove the battery and box is dealing with the starter wire bracket. Mine was corroded pretty good, so I just took the bracket off the starter and attached it to the new starter. I was doing this mobile, so it was great to know exactly which tools to bring and have the torque specs (not that those are absolutely critical for this job). Thank you!

Thank you sir, very helpful video.

Great video!! Super helpful. There is a lot of discussion online, and the manual photos you show also indicate what bolts should be replaced. Apparently they may actually be TTY or have some other characteristics that justify replacement. Might be helpful to cover that.

Great video, just one question so I only need 1 quart?

Me gusto mucho su video y gracias, me inscribí en su canal

I don't know how to interpret life data lol

Can someone explain to me the whole point behind taking the entire head off the engine for doing the timing belt and water pump. I just dont understand why you cant just do those parts

Great video

Parabéns pelo pelo trabalho 👏. Como faço para adquirir esse kit de ferramentas muito específica.

Do I need blue RTV? I got everything back together, poured in the new coolant and it just all leaked out at the housing.

Why not save all that work and just test each sensor with a multimeter? If they make voltage, then they work. Make sure to switch to A/C volts on multimeter because magnets are used in the sensor.

4 quarts is usually enough. Especially if you give her an italian tuneup afterwards. Helps liberate any debris and other stuff. I discovered with my old fluid it was really acrid and I found 2 bugs in the pan afterwards. Bugs probably clogging the valve body.

I think you missed the part of the actual tutorial video. You had a bad camera angle, and you fast-forward through the disassembly part. Good job

Zip tie methods didn't work for me I just used a Bore Brush Bristles Wire Brush for Power Drill and it help me alot not only to break down but to polish good

I have a 2005 Chevy classic. NOT a Malibu Classic. It has the 2.2 ecotec IT IS A 4 cylinder. I can see in this video that this one is a v6. There is limited info on the Chevy classic cause it was not a common vehicle. Although it looks exactly like a Malibu. I am trying to positively locate where the transmission pressure control solenoid is for 2005 Chevy Classic. ? I read that on most of transmissions the pan can be dropped and accessed there. The 04 to 07 Malibu shows access thru the side of the tranny like in this video. Looking for a video for my application. I appreciate the help.

Great fucking video man

Thank you for this great video. I had no idea what the sideburn was for.

Simple and clear. Thanks

why you don't take last screw to have a knuckle out out on the table? You could have a much more room to access the bearing.

Excellent video presentation. Sad new part quality control by suppliers to Ford. I wonder if going with aftermarket replacements would have saved you time?

When you say both sides jacked up at the same time what do you mean ? You mean jacked from center ?

Good job!

You skipped that part at 5:58-6 how you got the bolt loose

I think valve solenoid electrically fried. That is unusual. Great video. I would pull oil strainer and check and clean oil pan. Looks a pain a tedious pain but worth it.

Thank you toyota.

I'm a little terrified right now but also hopeful. I adjusted everything to line up but also made sure to back up the crankshaft 60°. I proceeded to remove the tensioner, tensioner pulley, and then the belt. But before I touched the belt, the back cam slipped and sprung backwards. Really hoping that having turned the crank back, saved me from misery. Almost like the engineers knew it would be under tension.

no codes on the dash

Huge thanks for this video. Helped me with solenoid replacements on the same car😀. If anyone else has questions on this repair or similar I can maybe help because I had a lot of troubleshooting I went through with this process!

How did you get that ac thing off the back 10mm nut on that bottom right side bracket I’m struggling and can’t get a 10mm wrench on it without taking that ac attachment off

Good video

Two bad parts from Ford ! What is going on with this once great company?

Your video gave me more knowledge on this subject, thanks.

Thanks, KIA optima FE They knew they sold me a screw up engine.Yes. also cylinder number four ,when I had a car only 30 days they wanted to charge me $338 to exchange one spark plug.

Jack up the engine on the side you’re working on. Then there’s more room and no need to remove anything from the intake.

I think the same happened to me. 93 ranger and I just replaced the starter battery and alternator. Starter fluid didn't work. I guess it must be the timing chain? Any tips to a diagnosis?

Bought my 2.4 na cobalt SS new in 2006…220,000 miles and still running strong. Only problem is the oil cooler is starting to leak.

How much would a decent machine shop charge to clean up and do the head?

My man 😎 thank you so much.

How much did this job cost? Great work

Dude you’re a life saver. This is a great tutorial actually one of the best I’ve come across. I have to do my lower control arms would you recommend doing the struts in one shot? looks like I’ll have perfect clearance at that point.

Great video, just what I was looking for.

Don't need to teach this guy about perseverance; he's got plenty.

Quick and informative love it !

Thank you

Thank you very much for your videos, my son’s car engine failed and we replaced it with no issues thanks to you ! Appreciate all the help!!

Good job!

Thank you bro, best video ever, I feel like I have less anxiety, trying to rebuild this engine now
