    Timing chain n Top Dead Center

    Good to hear. I also have a fuel pressure code, it's pointing towards the fuel rail pressure sensor. I'll be putting a new one in tomorrow. I did have a problem with the charging system, alternator wasn't charging the battery and giving me a P016100 code...even with a new battery and...

    2015 Equinox Need new transfer case

    Nope, I just unbolted it and pulled the entire shaft out, and it operates just fine....well, it will again soon, just finished a rebuild on the engine...I was contemplating replacing the transfer case at the same time, but decided to wait and see if it runs good after the rebuild. I priced...

    help with removing the cat

    Looking at the date of your post, I'm betting you solved the issue....In my case it was the timing chain, and I chose to do the water pump since I was in there. I removed the head to do a valve job, and also had I'm sure the same issue removing the Cat. I ended up dropping the entire exhaust...

    Timing chain n Top Dead Center

    Well, Saturday evening I got it started, raised compression with some tranny fluid down the spark plug holes....boy, it smoked out the neighborhood for about ten minutes. It sounded much smoother, with no ticking, however after about a minute or so it died...I'm pulling PO300 misfire....it...

    2015 Equinox Need new transfer case

    My 2013....I've gone thru 3 of them...thankfully 2 under warranty. Last time it blew out doing 70mph on the interstate...felt like the driveshaft was gonna pop thru the floor. So, for now, I just unbolted the driveshaft and removed it from the car....running fine in 2wd.....

    Timing chain n Top Dead Center

    Camshaft snout? is that the end where you put the phasers...ya that Kanda looks like a snout. The intake camshaft is the longer one because it drives the HP Fuel pump. I haven't retaken apart the timing components...well except for the Tensioner that you screw in....wasn't sure it had...

    Timing chain n Top Dead Center

    To me it appears as if you're off by a tooth. I just did mine last week, and they lined up correctly or seemed to. I put the timing chain on before I installed the upper right guide with updated fastener, and put the tensioner in last. However, I am experiencing a crank-no start at the moment...

    Needing some help, suggestions

    Following ...I also just completed a head rebuild and timing chain/ water pump replacement. I too put all the springs in a can to soak them. Replaced all exhaust valves and 4 intake valves. Got it all back together a couple days ago, and it would crank but not start. I'm shown low compression...

    removing cylinder head on 2016 chevy equinox 2.4

    I was conservative with my porting, I found this guy to be an excellent instructor...very valuable and knowledgeable, gave me the confidence to do what I've never done before. He has several videos on valvetrain issues.

    removing cylinder head on 2016 chevy equinox 2.4

    Ya, and there may be a wiring harness clip you'll need to remove. There's also an insulated cover that wraps around the manifold. Once you get the manifold off, there is a little hole in the port side of the manifold that is probably clogged with carbon buildup, I cleaned it out and drilled the...

    removing cylinder head on 2016 chevy equinox 2.4

    Pulling the intake isn't bad, If I remember I think you just have to pull the throttle body first. It's plastic so it's not heavy like the exhaust.

    removing cylinder head on 2016 chevy equinox 2.4

    Lol....your timetable sounds like mine...Yes, I've lapped them in. The paste I bought is multi-grit...add a couple drops of water in....I've had some valves still leaking slightly, so that's slowed my down. Think I've almost got them...just a couple exhaust valves slow dripping... they're brand...

    Fix or trade?

    I also have a 2013....and I currently have the head off and replacing and lapping valves. Just curious, what did your rebuild consist of? Any input is appreciated.

    removing cylinder head on 2016 chevy equinox 2.4

    I didn't use any DI cleaner on a regular basis. I wasn't aware of the amount of carbon buildup until I removed the intake manifold. A leak down test confirmed compression loss in cylinder one. After removing the head and cleaning it, I removed the rockers, springs and valves. I replaced all 8...

    removing cylinder head on 2016 chevy equinox 2.4

    Thank you....I cleaned it. It is direct injected and it had heavy carbon buildup. Brakeclean, degreaser and scotch Brite pads cleaned it up pretty well..

    removing cylinder head on 2016 chevy equinox 2.4

    I have a 2013 and removed the head. You have a few components that need to be removed first. Intake manifold, timing chain, fuel injector rail and some wiring harness brackets. I did leave the exhaust manifold attached, disconnecting the 3 bolt flange to the catalytic converter. I had a broken...
