2008-2012 Malibu Timing Chain ecotec 2.4 (1of3)

[@johnbrooks2122]

I put an new timing chain and balance shaft chain and stills riddles down where balance shaft is idk why

How hard was it to turn engine from crankshaft? I can’t seem to turn it, manually. It turns with starter so it’s not a timing issue. But I want to align it before changing chain as I have a broken guide

It was pretty easy especially with spark plugs out.

you prolly dont care but if you're bored like me atm you can stream all the latest movies on InstaFlixxer. I've been binge watching with my brother lately :)

Sir... you said mobil 1 and every six thousand miles... what oil filter did you use? and when you pull the filter out, was it twisted and swollen?

[@fer8888888]

Ac Delco filters only

Ok, as I've only done one timing related thing and it was on a 96 corrola irc, and it was belt driven not chain, what do I need far as tools/parts, what is the estimated time that you spent on it, and what was your cost compared to what a shop would have charged?

[@fer8888888]

You need wrenches, sockets, couple of jacks one to hold the car and one to move the engine up and down when the mount is out. A torque wrench with angle or a torque wrench and protractor for marking dots to degree the cam phaser bolts. Usually you will be $400-500 deep for oem parts. No idea what a shop would charge.

You are too focused on the beauty of the clean motor get to it... 😅😆

[@fer8888888]

Sometimes you need to take a break and admire what works for longterm reliability. Don't see it very often.

[@aaronboone2028]

You are correct... That's right... I do that too ☺️

[@aaronboone2028]
