freaking amazing, I was just planning on doing a timing chain replacement with my dad on my genesis coupe in the next few months, your videos are such a godsend. I think I might give my valve cover a nice metallic red paint while its off too, get rid of that bland black plastic look!
Is it normal that after doing a couple rotations by hand that the 3 gold links don’t line up with the dots on each gear anymore? Just did my girlfriends car haven’t ran it yet but the 3 lines are lined up but after a few rotations the gold links didn’t line up on the dots anymore
Hey man, just watching your vid now, what if my chain doesn’t have any marks? I’ve got the two top cars lined up but can’t line up the crankshaft because i have no guide on the actual chain itself
@@zackhepler1518 I just used the guides on the cams and then for the chain i ended up using the dots that are engraved in the link and it should be either two or one dot on the link
my 2.0t is about due for its timing to be done and was just wondering when doing all this is there anything else you would recommend changing out since you are already that deep into it?
I'm just doing the timing cover does the valve cover need to come off? Also do you have a video replacing the water pump? I'm pretty sure its straight forward but I wanted to know if I have to flush the system after installing a new water pump since air may get into the system.
It’s literally the same as this video. Your sprockets are held in by a 14mm bolt You simple just hold the cams in place with an adjustable wrench (which I’ve done in this video) and impact the 14mm bolt off (in the middle of the sprocket) and that’s it. Install new sprocket and tq to 39-43ft lbs
I'm about to do this tomorrow but I had a quick question. When you're talking about rotating the crank to get cylinder one a little below top dead center, does it matter which way you turn the crankshaft? like, facing the engine as you are in the video, is it Counter-Clockwise or Clockwise or does it not matter? And also, how much below top dead center do I need to go?
I have a customer with genesis 2013he bring the car over with a loud noise sound like a rod .I think it is something else.anybody have some advice please advise
@@ProdigePerformance okay im finally done with it. But quick question (checking my work) when you say two rotations do you mean rotate the engine until the dots line up again?
I just finished building my car, back together I need a tune for my parts. They are all bolt ons for now until I save some more funds for a bigger turbo. I'm here in san antonio and nobody tunes Genesis coupes here. Where can I get one? Do you know anyone in town that can do it? I saw alphaspeed but i wanna go to a place a pay money other then paying online
Your only option is alphaspeed really. You’ll need to message alphaspeed central Texas Aka josh Craig. Also, I’m from San Antonio. Josh is always tuning cars here.
If I was you bro just go with the SFR Canned tune. Made a HUGE difference for half the price as alpha speed. Been running the tune for almost 40k miles now
@@oOs4MzOo if you can add more stuff. I only charge $550 to do timing chain but if you add more parts that need to be replaced I can get you a better deal out of all the parts being installed.
I did this engine build a year later and the gasket maker I had applied on the driver side was a bit much in the middle but everything else was sealed perfect lol

Do it! Make your engine bay pop the way you want bro.
@@ProdigePerformance Hell yeah, seeing that blue you did on your turbo made me inspired, did you use a really high temp clear coat?
Guessing you have to take the spark plug out to check for top dead center?
Yes
You’re amazing bro , I appreciate this

They won’t line up again. It’s just for the initial pre set of timing
Thank you for this video!! 🙏
Great tutorial!!!!
What about the oil pump chain was there anything special putting it back on??
Nothing special at all. Its simple remove and put back on
Thanks 🙏🏽 you did it
Hey man, just watching your vid now, what if my chain doesn’t have any marks? I’ve got the two top cars lined up but can’t line up the crankshaft because i have no guide on the actual chain itself
did you figure out how to line it up my chain also has no color linkage????
@@zackhepler1518 I just used the guides on the cams and then for the chain i ended up using the dots that are engraved in the link and it should be either two or one dot on the link
you mean the timing chain it’s self should have a dot engraved on the links? or the dot on the cams?
does the oil pump chain have marks or you just put it on?
What are the symptoms of a bad timing chain ?
Chain slap on start up
Sluggish pulls
Timing codes
my 2.0t is about due for its timing to be done and was just wondering when doing all this is there anything else you would recommend changing out since you are already that deep into it?
Cvvt cam gears
Oil pump
Have you done any valve stem seals?
On a LS3 and 454
I use a torch and flat head to get them out.
For the GC you need a valve stem tool to get them out plus heat
I got mine replaced but my mechanic told me to don’t rev it or go above 3000r for a 1000kms
Anybody knows why he says this? Did he did it wrong?
I'm just doing the timing cover does the valve cover need to come off? Also do you have a video replacing the water pump? I'm pretty sure its straight forward but I wanted to know if I have to flush the system after installing a new water pump since air may get into the system.
You always vent the cooling system when replacing a part like that. Very easy to do
And yes the valve cover has to come off
can you make a video of replacing the cvvt sprockets?
It’s literally the same as this video. Your sprockets are held in by a 14mm bolt
You simple just hold the cams in place with an adjustable wrench (which I’ve done in this video) and impact the 14mm bolt off (in the middle of the sprocket) and that’s it.
Install new sprocket and tq to 39-43ft lbs
Also, the sprocket have dial pins so they only go in one way. Meaning it’s impossible to mess up install hahah
do you recommend changing out the oil pump during the timing chain job? im at 110k miles bk1
I always recommend it. It’s not a requirement but I always recommend it

Crank key

Kinda useless without a video. You should join the Facebook pages or message me directly with a. Video
Do i have to remove the oil pump? It doesnt seem like you did in this video
Just the pump gear
@@ProdigePerformance okay im finally done with it. But quick question (checking my work) when you say two rotations do you mean rotate the engine until the dots line up again?
@@HandMadeWrath just until the lines get on the camshafts meet. The dots don’t matter anymore after first rotation
@@ProdigePerformance my torque wrench only goes up to 100ft pounds do u think thats safe for the pulley bolt??

So wouldn't it be easier to set time when the old chain is still on?
No. Cams will spring back into a different position. So no matter what you have to line it up the same way everytime
@@ProdigePerformance ooh bet thanks, I'm doing it soon on mine anything need to line up for the other chain?
@@familiasoto82 oil pump chain doesn’t need to be lined up
On the cam chain / crank
At what miles do u recommend changing the timing chain
100k-120k miles
@@ProdigePerformance okay my buddy said I should change mine but I thought it was fine I only have 100 500km which is like 62k miles
@@GLXMagz you can always check for chain slack as well. Take the valve cover off and
See if there’s excessive chain slack
@@ProdigePerformance okay sounds good
Hey bro, where you locate? Would like you help change if you not too far

@@ProdigePerformance damm too far lol

@@ProdigePerformance that would be nice but im no wherr near you :(
Sounds great
How much do you charge to do a timing chain?
$550
Where are you located I am dealing with these same problems and issues...I'm in New Jersey
@@ProdigePerformance that’s not bad at all. Where are you though?
@@nonamebleach Texas boss
@@ProdigePerformance ahhhh damn bro. Wayyy too far. Not even the same country. I’m in Canada.
Jesus... thats alot of gasket maker...
I did this engine build a year later and the gasket maker I had applied on the driver side was a bit much in the middle but everything else was sealed perfect lol
Oil will break that stuff down if it pushes to the inside... and it will start clogging up oil system... oil pan also
@@ThirteenToOne yeah I know that. Common sense haha. Done this plenty of times
