QUICK NOTE: The torque spec at 36:05 is suppose to be INCH POUNDS, not foot pounds. Sorry for the typo. 😅
Someone had a bad day😂
Worked as a GM tech for 10 years and now I work in parts at GM and RYAN you nailed it on this one! Once you brought up the RTV on the VC gasket I said to myself "yup he's done A LOT of these" lol! Your a hell of a tech man! Its a great video and I could do all this cuz I have access to all the GM tools for this job but I would call this job an advanced tech skills required job for most people. GTREAT VID though!
Young Ryan is a good kid!!!👋
In case no one told you, You guys are Awesome! Keep up the good work!
Finally! Now strap it to the dyno
Great informative video, only complaint is at 35:55, it's 71 in lbs instead of ft lbs
Yeah or 8.0226 nM
Yep, that's suppose to be inch pounds. Blame the editor on the typo, there. 😅
You guys are awesome. Myself and I’m sure others requested this on the last video.
dont forget to plug the oil drain holes in the head that arent mentioned in this video. pulling the oil pan now praying i find the keeper i just dropped down a mystery hole
Amazing! Been waiting for this tutorial
AWESOME VIDEO!!! Thanks guys
Keep it up love the cruze content 👌
More to come!
Will be doing this when I rebuild my 200k motor
where do I get the tool to lock TDC?
Stock valve springs are 'FOR SURE' annoying near redline with a tuned 1.4T, it's really a buzz kill.
My Rocker arms are wobbling and i am not sure if i can adjust the springs or lifters to get that fixed. can you help?
Curious on your thoughts, given you have taken off and put on these 1.4l valve covers numerous times. I've done it a half a dozen times over 2 different Cruze's. And I always replace it with a new cover, or at least a new rubber gasket. I never reuse the gasket, because the first time I tried, even when the cover was not that old, it leaked like a sieve. Do you do the same? I'm considering upgrading my springs soon and my cover is practically brand new. I just accept I'll spend $ again on a new cover or gasket. btw, I love ZZP.
After taking the spring out are you able to pull the valve up too? I’m trying to check if one of my valves is bent
Do you need to drain the oil before pulling out the bolt behind the compressor?
Can you help me. I dont know why to adjust rocker arms. They are wobbling and i dont know how to fix that. Sometimes it causes misfires in cylinder 3 and economy is worse.
Is there no valve spring compressor tool for the lsj? With the head still on the block.
i am wondering this also.
Is there two exhaust springs and two intake springs per cylinder?
How can I book an appointment?! There’s no way I’d do this unless I had my own garage and some formal training.
Email service@zzperformance.com and Bo can get you a quote!
@@ZZPerformanceChannel thank you!
71 ftlb on the valve cover?
Maybe inlb.
Wow dang good catch man! Even though we both know they meant 71 inch lbs I didn't catch that till you said something. I'm sure they will edit that or correct it.
Yep, that's suppose to be inch pounds. Blame the editor on the typo, there. 😅
I'm curious "Not a motor head here, just a diy guy" can you remove the lifters at this time also. I am curious because another dude tore down the entire motor to get to them and here i clearly see they seem to be accessible however his vid was quite fast and definitely not as in depth as you are. that would save an enormous amount of time not removing the timing chain and all that. again maybe i missed something in his video since it went from take all this off to hey we are done.
What is the model of that Snap On torque wrench?
3/8" Drive TechAngle® Flex-Head Torque Wrench (5-125 ft-lb) ATECH2F125HB
@@Ryan.Klein. Thanks! It is on my Tool List!
Where's the timing tool for cam cover can't find it on zzp website
We sell the valve spring tool but we do not currently sell the timing tool kit.
Does that timing kit work with the 2.0 Cadillac ATS? I plan on purchasing your valve springs and upgraded fuel lobe cam in the near future and need all the help I can get on the install.
The LTG engine uses a different set of tools to the cam and valve springs replacement. Dealer manual calls for these tools:
EN-50717
EN 50793
EN-50656
EN-50792
@@gbrunner24 thank you so much.
My valve cover hates being put on with hand tools. No matter how easy I am with it I always strip one. I think I’m up to 4 helicoils holding my valve cover on lol. But when I put it on with an impact driver ive never had an issue. It’s the weirdest thing.
Am I the only one that noticed he left the orange cam gear locking tool in place when he put the valve cover on?
What orange locking tool?
@@shanemaneval16 nvm, just looked again and it’s the chain guide. I’m a dummy lol.
You got lucky. The tool walks all over the valve and the keepers dance and bounce around. This is not worth the risk. Happy you got it done but I wasn’t so lucky
Special Tools?! Man, it's like you're working on a German designed car.............
It's not far off, the LUV engine was designed by Holden.
@@JoeCAlvarado It was a German designed car sold to Asia markets initially
