Removed the Balance shaft gears by wrapping the shaft in a towel and stepping on it and using impact. But how to torque the bolt properly without a vice? Somewhere in this video I show how to use a 24mm wrench to hold it down. If I have to use a bench, I'm going to buy a chair and a mini fridge.
This ecotec 2.4 is being researched to find the problems.
1. Head's front guide bolt loosens. (common)
2. Front guide breaks. (common)
3. Exhaust manifold breaks. (common)
4. Primary timing tensioner guide Stub-post went crooked.
5. Primary timing tensioner fails. (common)
6. Engine wire harness loom plastic breaks apart and the wires may become faulty from rub. (common)
No special order.
