Chevy Equinox 2.4 | Timing Cover Gasket Replacement | Step By Step

In this video I show how to remove and replace the timing cover gasket on a 2013 Chevy Equinox 2.4L engine. This is a very common engine for many GM Cars/SUV'S so, the procedure may be the same or really close to the same on your GM Vehicle.

Subcribed! Good job man, and keep the Joy of Wrenching! Only tips I would give from someone a few more videos in is maybe invest in external microphone to pick up your valuable tips a little more and I really like the rechargeable lights with magnetic bases to put lots of light in those dark areas so it shows a little more clear on film. Even with those little things, you're doing great!

Just had mines replaced yesterday since the old one was leaking oil and had to get a new serpentine belt too

Wouldn't it have been easier to remove the Crank Bolt if you had left the belt on to give the pulley resistance?

[@jorgejimenez4829]

Any torque specifications?

[@ClockFixer]

According to GM you are supposed to replace the CRANK Bolt everytime you do this repair

[@cgonz81]

Do you recommend adding gasket maker?

[@sixtauto]

No, I do not use gasket maker for this job. Just use a new hard gasket.

2010 Equinox, oil leak, I think oil around pulley area. I see not the case. It’s timing chain cover? Great video by the way. God bless thank you.

[@sixtauto]

If the oil is only around the pulley area then it's more than likely the crank seal that's in the timing cover. I changed the seal in the video starting at about the 8min mark. It will be a little bit of a different removal process if the timing cover is not removed first. Thank you for the comment and watching it!
