Good video, honestly this is way more simpler then what I do.

[@HandMadeRoyalty]

Do you pull the oil pump too?

[@MarkissLovesU]

Your are elite bro. I appreciate you making this video. It’s definitely informative

[@senpaihouston]

Your explanation was perfect thanks!

[@sk8erboy551]

Amazing content as always!

[@yyzervy]

how did you get the crank pulley off. i got the bolt but holy that pulley is holding on for dear life

[@ProdigePerformance]

@@yyzervy you just pull it straight out. I’ve never had a crank pulley give me a hard time on these cars

[@ajvpr]

Im experiencing the same myself. Everything else in the process has been smooth. I put some penetrating spray and trying again in a few hours.

[@ProdigePerformance]

@@ajvpr should be able to pull straight out, if not you can easily just use a pry bar

[@MJT-DA]

I'm TDAM from reddit this helped me so much! I subbed right away you literally saved me $1500 from the stealerships. Also did you ever drain the coolant? I never saw you do it other than removing the hose and saying not to open the cap at all or you'd let air into the system.

[@johnsullivan937]

There's no need to remove the coolant as long as you keep the radiator cap on. The system will be pressurized and hold it all in even though that little hose was taken off. I do the coolant bypass for every summer since it gets so hot where I live, you have to take off a little hose in almost the same spot. It just drips out a little bit of coolant, and stops after a second.

[@palfreyPodcast]

great content and camera work.

[@AphexHaw3k]

This is so helpful. There aren’t videos out there showing how to do the timing chain in a genesis coupe. How much does a job like this cost for the customer. I don’t have many tools or time to do this entire job myself on my 2.0T. What’s an total estimate cost?

[@ProdigePerformance]

Shops charge $900-$1200 for labor not including parts.

[@dkennedy9524]

Was this just preventative maintenance or did it jump time or stretch? Im looking at getting one but they say it needs a chain, was wondering if it would be worth getting to just try a chain and tensioner and guides

[@ProdigePerformance]

Bk1 timing chains stretch by 80-100k miles so it’s recommended to replace with a bk2 timing chain since it’s stronger and will last longer. Bk2 timing chains typically last another 30-40k miles before they fully stretch You’re supposed to periodically check when you do the valve cover gasket after every 45k miles

[@dkennedy9524]

@ProdigePerformance I really appreciate it. They said it doesn't run needs chain, it looks in pretty decent shape and they are askin 1500. You think it would be worth getting and hoping it's just stretched?

[@ProdigePerformance]

@@dkennedy9524 if it doesn’t run I would try to figure out why A stretcher timing chain doesn’t cause the engine to not run so there’s another issue

[@delicrux]

​@@ProdigePerformanceglad someone asked this I have a bk1 and I had it scheduled for a trimming chain replacement. The week before the appointment I drove my car to work parked it and couldn't start it when I got out of work. Code was for camshaft position and after taking the cover off recently ican see it's stretched. Had it towed to a shop and the sleazeball said the valves were bent without doing any diag and said it will cost a new engine at 6k plus labor or he would buy the car from me for $100. Btw he builds racecars and sells used cars on his lot... So I had it towed home where going to do a chain replacement today.

[@othyus7896]

At 11:35 you point out the buildup on the side of the engine and recommend cleaning it off. What’s the best way to do that? Just wipe it with a rag? Also, I’ve heard that you should change the cvvts when you change the timing chain is that good advise?

[@ProdigePerformance]

Lint free rag and use wd40 and wipe away And yes it would be best to replace both cvvt actuators / phasers in the process

[@othyus7896]

@@ProdigePerformance Could you point me in the right direction of what exactly I need to buy and how to swap it? I’ve looked around online and can’t seem to find what you’re talking about. There’s sprockets and solenoids but that’s all that comes up.

[@ProdigePerformance]

@@othyus7896 cvvt = cam phasers. It’s built into the phasers

[@spaace9414]

10:25 never knew it was a two in one. but there is another sensor on the driver side under throttle body just saying u might have missed that one

[@ProdigePerformance]

That’s oil temp related. Not timing.

[@ProdigePerformance]

Or are you referring to the one on the intercooler piping? If so, no that’s not a map sensor. It’s a TIP sensor.

[@spaace9414]

@@ProdigePerformance I seee

[@juniormadrid9340]

When would a timing chain job be recommended? By how many miles orr? And the best one to replace it with is oem or is there a better after market one??

[@ProdigePerformance]

No aftermarket. The best timing chain you can get is the bk2 timing chain. Way more durable And I usually say check it. Around the 100k 120k mile mark is when I recommended 2.0 owners to replace it

[@chevyschroeder4794]

And what if you have a automatic/manual what does that mean about holding the crank into place.? What is the procedure for that?

[@ProdigePerformance]

6 speed guys can simply Put the trans in 6 gear and remove the crank pulley bolt but auto guys would have to use vice grips to prevent the engine from spinning when removing the crank bolt.

[@chevyschroeder4794]

Is it ok to remove everything and drain the oil two days before parts arrive?

[@ProdigePerformance]

Just make sure if you leave the Valve cover open to put a plastic bag to prevent debris From contaminating the engine

[@JuanSilva-nl3sv]

You don’t gotta make sure to have at top dead center??

[@ProdigePerformance]

In the next video I talk about it. This is just basically removal.

[@phenomphantom5329]

I’m learning more about my car with Brian Paul I have a 2.0t 2013 Gen coupe I want to install a down pipe but I’m scared I’m going to break a bolt 😞
