    Good job dood. The one thing I would suggest every one do is soak the chains in oil before installing them. Till they get enough oil on them from running the engine they are taking a beating running dry.

    I'm about to do this job on an '09 Acadia and this is one of the several videos I've watched. I like how you explicitly show the colored links in relation to the sprockets and cam phasers. That's probably what scared me most, but now I feel at least a little better educated and can't wait to get started. Thanks for putting this video out there for part timers like myself!

    Nice example of what to do WITHOUT getting too excited about understanding “phase 1&2”. The phases just help with aligning the chains without having to adjust the cams directly…probably an exaggerated point because of the cam holders that they recommend using…without the cam holders all you need to do is make sure the back of the cams “flats” are up.

    I just did the timing chains on my 2011 Equinox after watching your video. Now my wife's 2011 Acadia just pulled a p008 code. lol. The Equinox was a piece of cake compared to this, might have to get the shop to do it or just drive it till goes. Great videos and explanations, thanks for sharing.

The part that the timing marks at 5:00 isn't working bc as soon as it hits that 5:00 mark, the pistons start to go down. He is aggravated and don't know what else to do. Please help

    Thank you so much for the video. I have removed the timing chain cover and when I tried to turn the crankshaft to get the camshafts to line up with the markings, it skipped the teeth. I really stressed out because now I had no idea what to do. You made it look like I can just turn what ever I need to, until the marks match the chains. 👍

      I know this is a year later... One thing I did (because of a head removal/replacement due to valve damage) I had to r&r the cams on one side obviously. So I pulled the cam caps off both sides to pre-orient the cams (valve covers were already off anyways). That way I couldn't possibly cram the valves by mistake. This also allowed me to rotate the crank a significant number of revolutions to prime the new oil pump I put in it at the same time, before the chains went back on.

However I messed up and used the timing mark on the chain the yellow link to line it up with the dot on the oil housing I just wasn't thinking. I took the right Bank chain off. I rotated it... The crankshaft that is very carefully trying to link everything back up and failed miserably. I don't believe I've bent any valves. How do I get the cams and the crank back where they should be together? The Left Bank has not been touched at all so the primary chain is still on as is the right Bank chain

    I have a 2010 traverse, had dumbass shop do complete timing. I bought a cloyes kit online for around $800, THEY wanted to use NAPA kit that was over $1100. They wouldnt warranty it because i brought in parts. Sure enough, after a few months problems. Crank positioning sensor, pulled over and shutoff, wouldnt turn over at all. It wont even turn by hand,...normally ouch. There was no sound, no oil dump, no smells,....nothing. I think maybe it jumped or tensioner/guide may have broke and something wedged in there. The starter isn't stuck out either.
    Getting ready to look in myself. Oil looked fine as well. I had a couple comments or questions. I watched one video, ONLY ONE SO FAR,...where the mechanic said he's seen a few cloyes have some kind of defective pin(?) or something. I have not bought parts yet. Could that be in the tensioner that pushes out, only thing i can think of. Its odd, cloyes is one of best companies out there,...cloyes, melling, then maybe AC DELCO. He recommends a cloyes kit WITH i think AC DELCO tensioners.
    The other thing, every video said if not replacing oil pump,..do NOT pull those two bolts holding that guide. It can mess up something. Of course the new pump has a new guide bolted on it. Im not picking, just curious, i seen you took it off.

    • @BustedtoBuilt
      @BustedtoBuilt  Před rokem +1

      Unfortunately they're just not a great engine imo. I've seen them fail with cloyes, napa,ac delco. Without tearing it down I wouldn't think too hard on what the problem might be, the shop could have done something to make it their fault but the proof will be in the pudding especially if she's siezed up. I get a lot of flack for the oil pump bolts but all the chains I've done are still out there driving around so take that for what it's worth. The most common issue I see that takes out a fresh set of chains is the high pressure fuel pump locking up on higher mileage engines, thanks for watching and sorry to hear about you're predicament

      To have it reliable I would recommend a whole motor which I know isn't cheap but would come with a good warranty.

None a great option but GM just did a horrible job with that engine

A lot more piece of mind for me being able to look right at everything eye level. Currently I'm at about 8 hours to drop out the bottom replace chains and put car back on the motor which seems reasonable to me.

      What way are you cranking it? Clock wise from stage 2 to stage 1 will hit. Go counter clock wise. GL! :)

    i can see why no body changes oil, the engine would last way over 200000 miles if it was changed every 5000 miles, theres nothing wrong with the 3.6 engines its the owners

    • @BustedtoBuilt
      @BustedtoBuilt  Před 2 lety +1

      The owners are the root of most problems. People are just used to the level of ignorance they have gotten away with on vehicles of the past and manufacturers are taking advantage of that

    • @jamesberreth7171

      Disagree! While there are plenty of boneheaded owners neglecting timely oil changes, there are far too many GM 3.6 V6s out there with identical issues. And when they get torn into, they all look the same, i.e. oil sludge, burnt oil, and bank 2 is almost always in worse condition than bank 1. GM even acknowledged the issue when they stated the problem had been resolved for the 2011 model year.

      Well thanks for the traffic but I have multiple customers over 250k miles on original engine and chains that keep up on service. I agree that the rear bank will always be worse just because of the ventilation system. The chains I see failing are the vehicles that get one oil change a year and the level never gets checked after that

      @@BustedtoBuilt yea that’s true because my cousin has the same 2011 traverse like me and I have 200000 miles and no problems and I change my oil every 5000 and I check level every 2 weeks and he has 150000 miles and done got a new engine and hardly changes oil and never checks.
