Mick and Sam filming never disappoint. Still cant beat the old school holden 202, 253 and 308. Thank you guys for your time to make these videos to share your knowledge. Love new engines but got the old school engines in the blood.

Great video, very informative and I learn so much by listening to your advice, years of experience, instructions and 'buy genuine' timing chains.

Out right my favourite channel. Gents thank you how about a weekly show 🙏

Top shelf Mick, I need to change out ours great info👌🇦🇺

Would love to see a full alloytec rebuild or a holden 179 love the channel

Love watching your vids.

You make it look so easy.

Spot on Mick you can't beat a cam belt. Better off without the stupid chains.

Lol, good old rattletechs! I have a 2011 Omega with 313000kms, still original timing chains, wish me luck lol.

That was Awesome!!! and i thank you👍🏿😅😂

Your a champion where is your shop located..when i need mine done...jack

Do you tension any bolts. Change any gears.

Love your video mate. Just great simple and clever work too can U tell me what's wrong with the cheap timing chain kitsplz

What’s the grease you’ve put on the chains ?

Did you make the cam shafts coming tool.

What. Is the cost of doing this and how many Kilometers before expecting this to be done

4:27 Sir could you be so kind to convey if cylinder number 1 is top dead center at stage 2 position or stage 1. Thank you 🙂

What sealant do you use?

nice

Does the engine need to be lifted or is it able to be done without?

a cam belt wouldve been a dream. those timing kits are pricey.

what's that cost in car?

LIke the LIM gaskets on the Ecotecs, not sure how Holden got away with this chain issue. Should of been a recall or class action at the least......people are still paying for these things unfortunately. Holden obviously didn't learn from the crappy chain tensioner dud on the Eco's. All round poo design.

Poor crank snout and key way

What are the chances of replacing these problematic alloy tech engines back to the good old eco tech 3.8 vs engine basically going backwards to a more reliable engine. I see so many good cheap vehicles for sale with (needs timing chains done)

Where did you start the Crankshaft? 5pm or 8pm position?

Look, I did mine according to the GM service manual, the bible so to speak, it does not say blah blah blah, it says, the timing chains must be timed to the two separate timing marks on the oil pump, ie at 5 oclock / 8 oclock, that is why they are there, this engine has 2 stages of timing, you just put the chains on using the 8 oclock mark and disregarded the GM manual completely, bottom line either GM or you are wrong, no ifs or buts. I have had no issues with following the GM engineer's instructions, no misses and the engine runs like new. I would have liked to have seen your engine started up and heard the misses or worse the valves interfering with the pistons etc as other have by following this lazy procedure that is just wrong. Do it by the book, it isn't hard and it won't mean you have to go back in or worse look for a new motor. Very easy job to do if you just follow the GM manual.

Audi isn’t much better.

What a crap engine the alloy tech
