once all thee chains are in place you should always rotate the engine at the crankshaft nut 720 degrees ( two rotations) to ensure the marks are true... Once its buttoned up it could bite you if not... Just a little tip.

[@OffGridInvestor]

Just adding this in. Apparently a lot of these GM engines won't have the marks line up again on the first revolution but will on the second. I assume it's to do with the chain length.

[@etothelij]

@@OffGridInvestor its to due with the balance shaft spinning and 2x the timing chain - so its 2 or 4 full revolutions to line up again

[@wills.5762]

Some of these ecotec engines you really shouldnt, they use oil pressure for the tensioners and the chain tends to pop off if you turn the engine over by hand significantly.

I have a 2010 2.2 LAP with 81k. It would mostly have a faint but noticable rattle at startup, after sitting for a few hours cooling down. Would replacing the tensioner get rid of the rattle and prolong the chains and guides or would it be safe to replace the whole set?

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

How many miles are on the engine? If it's over 100k miles and on original timing it may be time to replace timing kit all together

[@dangerdoberman]

Thank you!!!

[@GasPedalGarage]

Hey love the vids! I blew the head gasket in my 2.4l and I took the camshafts out when taking the head off, after re installing the cam shafts how did you know where to them since the pistons could be anywhere?

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

GasPedalGarage Hey thanks I appreciate the input!! You would have to revert cylinder 1 to TDC if you are going to set the timing. That way you can get the timing set correctly and the marking dots and arrows on the correct positions.

[@fast68chevy]

#1 piston at TDC you put cams exh and int at 10 and 2 O-clock timing positions. the unique oddball colored chain link goes on cam sprocket. rotate exh cam 45 degrees clockwise to set colored link on sprocket with 24mm wrench on cam behind sprocket

[@snowblind5151]

Do those cam sprockets fit on to the camshafts only one way with something that lines them up? I want to be sure my cams are correct because my chain jumped before this replacement. It looks like the cams have a oval notch at like 7 o'clock on left and 5'oclock on the right.

[@elidames6889]

Hey Mike. I'm working on a cobalt ss 2.2l ecotec 2008. I'm not 100% it is the same but it sure as hell looks so. With that being said I marked my sprockets and popped them off so I could answer your question. The sprockets on MINE can't be put on wrong. The keys on the sprocket only go a certain way. Research everything, triple and quadruple check everything. If anything doesn't seem right DO NOT continue, just get it right. If you don't every single valve in that thing will be done for. All of them.

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

Yes sir the cam sprockets only fit onto the camshaft one way via a key on the sprocket and notch on the cam.

I like it & Yes, your right about that, STEALERSHIP!!! They overcharge for everything!!! I just got a 2.2 ltr Pontiac G5 with 167k miles but, it gets up & goes for a 4 banger!!! I can hear either the valves or the chain slapping the guides, EITHER WAY, IT NEEDS CHANGED ASAP! IM WATCHING EVERY VIDEO SO, WHEN PAYDAY GETS HERE, I HOPE TO HAVE IT DOWN PAT. i did the timing belt on my focus about 2 years ago. It was way easier!!!!

[@radito58]

If my cam shaft sprockets do not align with where the INT and EXT marks should be can I just use a wrench and move them? In your video they were already in the 2 o'clock position for the Intake and 10-11 for the exhaust. Thanks

[@OffGridInvestor]

Best to still have the old timing chain on and move the crankshaft until the camshaft ones line up. Because if all 3 don't move at the correct ratio it can cause valves to hit cylinders and basically destroy the engine at first start. And it WON'T BE a 1 to 1 ratio between camshafts and crankshaft because the crankshaft sprocket is far larger. If you've removed the camshafts completely, it gets more complicated but there's a comment on here that answers that.

[@radito58]

@@OffGridInvestor you're right I just found that comment and makes sense now. Thanks for replying!

[@freddyg9026]

@@OffGridInvestor cam sprockets only go on one way. As long as the crank keyway is at 12 oclock #1 piston will be all the way up top. if cams were out just put the gears on and line them up at 10 oclock and 2 oclock no way you can really mess the timing up on these.

EElectric_M yes this is the LNF 2.0T. And the timing sprockets are different. The one from Ebay will be for a regular Cobalt that just looks like a regular cam gear.

Because it seems that s what happen thanks for any info i. Advance

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

Sorry just getting to you, but it is possible for that to happen if a bolt that holds guides in place break off causing the guides to move and the tensioner will no longer be putting tension against the guides causing wear by chain rattle.

Is there an easy way of putting the 2.2 in time without pulling the engine cause that I don't have any way of doing I have an 05 caviler which shaved the lip of the top mounting guide off and now unfortunately I have to replace everything it looks as though the intake cam is the only one that jumped time the exhaust is still set can't say for sure on the crank I haven't made it that far yet. If you have any words of wisdom that might make my journey a little easier it would be greatly appreciated I've never had the pleasure of dealing with the timing problem ever I've done engine work and what not so not a total moron when it comes to understanding engines or cars.

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

Yeah it's also possible and to do it with the engine in place. Sadly not as easy as engine out but removing the passenger wheel as well as the splash guard will open up the space alot more to give you more access to the timing components, just make sure cylinder 1 is on top dead center before doing timing.

[@chrisgonzalez9192]

I put all the marking like how you did and when I spin the motor. The lines don’t mark up anymore

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

the marks won't line up again. If you lined up all the timing marks, and you don't have the pistons and valves toughing as you spin the engine by hand, you shouldn't have a problem.

[@deweyfrady6475]

how do i verify the #1 piston is at TDC on proper stroke. My timing chain was broken.

[@mikenone5902]

Well this is a late response, but I'll answer. When the Crankshaft sprockets are at the 6 and 5 o'clock positions the crankshaft is at TDC on #1 cylinder. Then when you line the colored links up as explained in the video that sets the cam timing to the compression stroke with #1 at TDC. Just means both valves are closed. It could technically be set with any cylinder at any stroke, but it's done like this because that is where the timing mark is set and what the colored links on the chain are set to line up with. Also by using the compression stroke both valves will be closed so you don't have to fight with the valve springs trying to spin the cam lobes around. To further answer the question: if your cams are not lined up with the colored links after setting the crank sprockets to position, then you have to manually turn the cams with a 24mm wrench with the chain off to align the timing marks on the cams with the timing marks on the chain. There is a place to put a wrench on the cam just behind the cam sprockets. Do the intake side first. The video left out some details. You also have to rotate the cams to get all the chain slack to the left side where the tensioner is and then activate the tensioner by pushing it in 2mm with a prybar with some tape or anything soft on the end so you don't damage the chain, or you can use the back of a screwdriver and tap it with a hammer. For the bottom tensioner you just pull the pin and then run and jump down on the ground and try to find something to shield yourself with.

Psh....Unreal... Ecotec (capitalized ECOTEC, from 'Emissions Control Optimization TEChnology') is a General Motors (GM) trademark that refers to a series of emissions technologies that were implemented throughout a range of GM engines. ..

@@scrumtrellecent I always wondered what the full meaning was. I knew economy and technology but didn't know about control and optimization. Currently changing both chains in my 2004 cavalier.

Adding the extension could mess with your torque btw

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

Yes, I took that into consideration, I added 2 extra inch pounds due to only being an 1 1/2 extension

[@Drowe218]

That is incorrect, extensions only mess with torque in an impact gun not on hand tools. Check out torque test channel.

Your English sounds American. But I'm confused as to why you don't know what a paper clip is called.

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

Haha, yes, I'm American. I do know it's a paper clip, but at the time, my mind went blank, and it just couldn't come out of my head. So I added it on the screen. I didn't want to go back and edit it out or reshoot that scene to add originality and laughter.

[@09CamaroFANATIC]

The tensioner for the primary chain? I did mention it, hence why there is paper clip on it
