Saturn Sky Timing Chain Replacement// 2.0 Ecotec how to!

Saturn Sky Timing Chain Replacement. My brother owns a 2007 Saturn Sky Redline with the 2.0 Turbo charged Ecotec Engine. The water pump began leaking and needed replacement. As the Sky has 142,000 miles on it he decided that while replacing the water pump we would go ahead and replace the timing chain, and balance chain assembly as well.
I had previously replaced a water pump in my 08 GXP and my moms 07 GXP, but this was the first time I had done the chain assemblies.
The project took us between 8 and 9 hours total. If you do not have the skills, and tools, consider taking your vehicle to a trained professional.

Great job, I used to love tinkering with engines but with age comes garages 🤣👍

[@ouRVisionnomadicliving]

Oh I hear that, but the garages here want about $1200 bucks to do this job. 😮 Thanks for watching & commenting Mark. 😁

[@daviscrt]

Awesome job. I remember you and Angie driving that car to Utah and back to yours brother's house. Thanks Don

[@ouRVisionnomadicliving]

Hi Don, thanks so much. Angie and I have a Pontiac Solstice, the Saturn Sky is the sister car. My brother owns 3 Sky's. My mom and my daughter also have Solstices, and my mom's older brother has a Sky. So we have 7 of the cars in our family. They are fun cars. 😁 As always, thanks so much for being part of our journey and watching. 👍 Sean 💙

Great job but I am a take it to the garage type mechanic. 😂😂

[@ouRVisionnomadicliving]

There are times when I am as well. I can't lay on my back and work with my hands above me anymore. Has to do with the meds I'm on for my heart. I do pretty good at supervising my son in laws if the need arises..Thanks so much for watching & commenting David. 😁 Sean

Nice job! I haven't seen one of those out driving locally for a very long time, They also made the Pontiac Solstice, a re-badged version of this car. A poor man's Corvette, I suppose.

[@ouRVisionnomadicliving]

Thanks Pedro, yes, Angie and I own a Solstice, my youngest daughter also owns a Solstice, my mom has a Solstice, and my brother has 3 Skys. My moms older brother also owns a Sky. We have a stable of them in our family. 😁

@@ouRVisionnomadicliving This part of the country is not known for people keeping their cars very long, I have a 2010 Toyota and I feel like the old guy with the Model T that went back time and time again for a new muffler at Midas in those TV ads.

[@ouRVisionnomadicliving]

@@pedrofernandez8729 LOL too funny. Both my vehicles are older than that. My 09 Dodge, and my 08 Solstice.

[@TomandLoriRVLife]

Yowza! Great job! Do you make house calls?

[@ouRVisionnomadicliving]

Lol, thanks Tom, not generally, had to haul all my toolboxes to someone's house. Thanks for watching. 😁 Sean
