Thank you Tony! Just take it slow and line everything up right. If you have any questions just ask, I'll try to help!

Hey. It really isn't too bad if you have the right tools 😉

@@grampzquadlol... I've dabbled with cars and trucks my whole life and I still wouldn't attempt what I seen you do. like I said my man you are a beast and I normally don't give props.. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Thank you brother! Much appreciated!

Hey thanks David! It means a lot! 👍

Hey Thanks Jerry! This took a couple days. After doing it, I think I could do it in a good day now. I've done 4 cyl hondas but this was a bit more complicated. Just take it slow. It's not too bad!

Thank you for the great comment! Much appreciated! Glad I could help.

Yes sir!

Take your time, be patient and triple check everything. Good luck 👍

Probably pull off cover and chains today.

Hi again. I got left chain on. White link in hole of idler sprocket and top marks line up with top two L’s. and it’s on timing 1 on crank. The flat spots on cam are a little off. As if I need to turn crank abit to timing 2. I think it fine. If marks all line up on left bank. What day you? Lol

@@Countryclassics101 make sure cam flat spots are even with a flat edge in 2nd timing position.

Right bank? I got crank chain on now. Turn to 2ed timing mark and make sure right bank cams are flat across like left was? I think that’s what you mean

If they look ok, I would just use the old ones. A dealership would probably replace every part cuz that's what they do!

@grampzquad thanks,no one mentions or shows these is why I asked

no one shows these,are they necessary

Yes. Put it back the way you found it.

@grampzquad thanks brother!

Sorry but I'm afraid it looks like you need a timing chain if you've replaced sensors.

@@grampzquad when I put the intake censor in I thought I had it fixed. But after a 15 min drive the the fuel stumbling was back. I could get the wires checked at a shop to make darn sure. But it does have 120000 miles on it. It Wasn’t at full power either on this last test drive. Always shifting down. I’d say your right. 😎

Sorry I didn't show that. I don't have an air tools. But one of my best purchases is a corded electric impact. Got it on sale for $70. Works like a charm! Good luck!

Yes. Chains stretch as Each link wears a little. This stretching is accelerated with dirty engine oil. Other factors are chain guide wear and of course chain tensioner failure. Thanks for watching!

Yes. That's just oil working it's way to the tensioners and the VVT solenoids. It's still running great!

There is a pin holding the tensioner in. Once the chains are all lined up to the marks, you pull the pin on the tensioner.

Thank you. So there is a process to “pinning” it when you somehow put slack in the chain to remove it? And do you put a wrench on the chain sprocket bolt to turn the cam shafts clockwise to get them flat on the left bank? Thank you so much for your help. Trying to get this car fixed for my son just starting his teaching career and on a limited budget 😊

@@BB-xq6rj I normally use new parts. So you don't have to repin the tensioners. Just turn the crank bolt clockwise to top dead center. Then you can just remove tensioner and chains.

@@grampzquad nice!! Waiting on parts from rock auto. Thanks again for your help and quick response!!you are a saint!!

Is there a way to lock the cam pulley to get that 3/4 bolt out? Ordered the harmonic puller and a cam lock kit. Also the flat spots on the cams on the left bank don’t line up with a flat edge. can I line those up somehow after I get the chains off or is there a better way?

Personally I would stick with the 3.0 but the LS would be fun also a lot more work!

@@grampzquad thanks bud I was thinking the same just wanted another opinion to way out my options.

Mine purrs like a kitten now so....?

I'm just a backyard DIYer. I did this slowly over a few days. I triple checked everything and took my time. I'd guess it took me 10 to 12 hours. Thanks for asking!

I use Rockauto.com. I wouldn't know the part numbers. Just select year make and model and you'll get the right stuff! Good luck 👍!

@@grampzquad thanks for this great video my SRV currently has the P0017 code no chain rattle. Do you thinks its the chains VVT solenoids or the VVT sprockets? Not sure what kit to order thinking about removing valve covers and checking chains first?

If you are lucky it could be wiring or the sensors. Here is a link to help diagnose. www.700r4transmissionhq.com/p0017-cadillac-srx/

Thanks Vinny! It's really not that bad if you take it slow. I think the Equinox is a little tighter for space to do the job.

@@grampzquad Just not practical for me to even try, need the time, tools, know how etc. Like the video, probably going to trade it in.

I'm in Alberta Canada. I'm also just a backyard mechanic having fun making videos for DIYers.

?

SRX4 2010, that's what I have. What are you talking about?

​@@grampzquad maybe commenter meant AWD- still driving all 4 wheels!

I think it was around 230,000 km. I bought the car from a local auto wrecker. They picked it up from a dealership that told the owner they needed a whole new engine!! Too lazy to do a timing job or looking for big $$?

Metal timing chains will wear at each link if the oil is not kept clean. They essentially stretch when each link gets larger. I've seen it on many cars!
