@@chriskolar No I have the 2014 buick regal 2.0 Turbo Ecotec. The belt around the tensioner is what is killing me also. I cant see how it gets back there on the flat side of tensioner easy
@@LaChriss- at 7 min and 30 seconds you can see the belt also at 29 min ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sDEpkbQcRgY.htmlsi=dNhoSVHm0ptQAiuM
Hi Chris, will be tackling the same engine. Mom checked the oil and went out to mow. But did not replace the dipstick. It was a little tired to begin with and when I heard it stall, which it never does, I looked at her restart and it was smoking. It blew all the oil out the dipstick hole and I only got about a cup or so of oil out. Ouch. Sorry for the long discourse but do those cylinders have a cast in steel liner? Kind of looks that way. Hoping it's not that Nikasil they used to run in their snowmobile engines. I checked compression this spring and it was a little low and was hoping to get through the season before this happened. Let me know on the liners. Thanks!
@jimmahoney788 I am not sure about the liners. They will probably clean up. It may be a bit loose but it will run. The one I rebuilt was in pretty bad shape.
Bro can be done even easier: unscrew the worm gear and the right steering rod and the rack will freely enter on the right side))) and it is not necessary to remove the rear wheel drive transfer case
Awesome information. I’ve been out of the shops for over fifteen years and am somewhat new to this platform. I’m currently replacing the engine in my wife’s 13 Avalanche and let me tell ya… NEVER EVER AGAIN. I now remember why I moved into service writing and then out of the industry all together.😂
@verokrizlopez1731 The spark plug having oil on it from inside the engine means the rings or pistion is damaged. Do a compression test to determine how bad it is. If it is within 15 psi of the other cylinders you may be able to clean that pistion by soaking it with solvent to break up the gunk clogging the rings.
I went to replace the battery in mine and saw all of this extra nonsense was involved. Battery place said they install new batteries for five extra bucks. Easiest $5 I ever spent.
I want to thank you for the video, I did it, the time consuming part was cutting the tube after that it was a piece of cake, also replaced the heater door actuator which is above the fan motor, since I was there and everything was out of the way. There was no way I could of had a shop door it google it and an estimate was between 975 and 1375, my cost was 130 and the time. Thanks again Nm
@@chriskolar okay thank you they told me it’s my head gasket and it’ll cost 927$ to repair it + needed my motor mounts done just didn’t know if that was worth the fix
I’ve got the 14mm bolt out and the everything on top.. sucker won’t wiggle free! Any suggestions? It’s definitely rusty so I added penetrating oil over night
Excuse me, I have to change the thermostat, what should I buy? They had told me about the sensor and the thermostat but not about the water tubes that you show there, are they necessary?
