Greatly appreciated sir, thank you.

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

[@TheOutlaw-of9wl]

Great video! Had no idea about the piston rings gaps lining up def something I’ll do in the future.

[@LOUIS-fp3bv]

How did you learn to make it look easy?

[@michaelstjohn6086]

Working on a 2010 Terrain right now. Chain beat BOTH bolts out of guide....

[@factoryratgarage]

Good luck with your rebuild.

[@mylahbender8517]

great job man. did your gmc start at all? before u rebuild the motor did it turn over at all, your the only video i found that's help me a lot with my gmc keep it up great thumps up

[@factoryratgarage]

Yeah it turned over before I rebuilt it, it was our daily driver before it jumped time. Thanks for the kind words and for watching.

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?

[@factoryratgarage]

My cylinder bores still had factory cross hatching so I didn’t feel a need to fe-hone them. If they would have been glazed or smooth I would have honed them but I didn’t see a need. Good luck with your build. Thanks for watching.

[@michaelstgeorge9428]

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!!

[@factoryratgarage]

So I didn’t hone the bores because they still had good visible cross hatching from the factory and I didn’t see the need to hone them if they looked fine. If they were glazed and no visible crosshatching I would have honed. Mine is still running daily to this day. It sounds like yours might need a head gasket if it’s losing coolant, it could be leaking into the cylinder and burning off. That could be why no visible leaks on the outside. I hope this helps, good luck on your build and thanks for watching.

[@michaelstgeorge9428]

Thank you for the reply. That's awesome bro glade to hear she's still running strong.

[@elmarko9051]

Is pulling the engine a big hassle? 4 cylinder - I figured you would save time in the long run doing both the timing and the pistons out of the vehicle.

[@factoryratgarage]

I’ve actually pulled this engine and transmission once before to replace the transmission, that had a broken wave plate which is a common problem.I felt it was easier to do it the way I did it by just dropping pan.

[@LOUIS-fp3bv]

How do you get that ladder to fit in the toolbox?

[@RidgeOutdoorProductions]

Nice work! Was it all silicone and no gasket on the oil pan?

[@factoryratgarage]

Thank you, and yes just the silicone, no gasket from factory.

[@wnicorn6702]

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

[@factoryratgarage]

So I could still see really good cross hatching on the cylinder walls so I didn’t see a need to hone them. If they were glazed over maby I would, but my rings seemed to seal just fine. Still running over a year later daily driving.

[@wnicorn6702]

@@factoryratgarage My timing chain needs to be replaced on my 2010 equinox 2.4 with 175k miles. I need to pull the engine out to replace my rear main seal also. I might a well do a complete overhaul while I got it out. Your videos are very helpful. Thank you!

[@factoryratgarage]

@@wnicorn6702 that’s why I did an overhaul in mine, I figured I’m already here and it’s not much more time or money. Thank you for the kind words, good luck on your build.

[@JCGible]

Im curious. Im fixing my Sisters colbolt with the 2.2 L engine. The timing guides broke, and I replaced the timing chain and guides. I've scoped the valves because of significant ticking. They look good. Maybe a bit dirty. I was thinking of just replacing the arms and adjusters. I've dropped the oil pan and cleaned out the intake screen. Would you think its imperitive to go the hole distance, and do the pistons and valves? Thanks

[@JCGible]

Right now, everything is back together. Ive removed the covers and Im waiting on the adjusters.

[@factoryratgarage]

I only replaced what was broke on mine, and I replaced the rings cause I had really bad blow by. I would say if you if it’s all together and runs ok I’d leave it. I hope this helps. Good luck.

[@JCGible]

@@factoryratgarage Ok. Enjoy your videos. Thanks

[@factoryratgarage]

@@JCGible thank you.

[@bubbasquid]

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

[@factoryratgarage]

No. It uses oil now like a normal car. Night and day difference in oil consumption and it’s a daily driver since the rebuild. Good luck on your build.

[@bubbasquid]

Awesome. Thanks for the reply!

[@cyberclaw360]

did you replace the conecting rod bolts and or the barrings?

[@factoryratgarage]

No, everything was still good so re used.

[@cyberclaw360]

@factoryratgarage hey. Thanks for replying so fast. In that case I'm not gona bother eather. Unless I find serious damage later today or tomorrow when I pull the bottom out

[@factoryratgarage]

@@cyberclaw360 mines been driving everyday since the rebuild with no problems. Good luck on your build.
