Great job getting clear shots and angles and lighting. That must've been a pain. But good god is it great. And the advice regarding things that most seasoned shade tree wrenchers take as a given is very considerate of you. (Ie missing clips)
dude I have a question about my kia soul 1.6L, I messed up. So I was trying to do the timing chain cause it has 251,000 miles on it and it seems rather loose, and I thought I had it top dead center but I was utterly wrong, can I independently turn the lobes into the positions indicated in the service manual and then turn the crank and find the compression stroke on cyl 1 and that should be good then?
If the battery is full of charge and it does not turn the engine at all , then that is a good indicator. In this case , I actually had smoke coming from under the hood along with no crank. Thanks for the question.
Nice video, showing the DIYer’s an alternative “way in” is really beyond the call of duty! Kinda’ held my breath a bit when you left the intake port on the throttle body wide open to the world. I guess it could have been an opportunity to discuss how to remove the air cleaner hold-down bolt from the intake port . . . when it finds that “nothing-but-net” 3 pointer! Just saying . . .😅
