Dude this week my timing system started clicking in mine. Almost sounds like my genny is cammed this video is going to save me 1000's of dollars im doing this with a buddy and your video is my guide. Thank you!!!
Do you know if the actual timing procedure is the same as the lambda ll 3.8 in the sedans? Cant find a prevedure for those engines. I am in the process of doing a valve adjustment and will have to re-time the engine.
Most people just get a new water pump and oil pump while it’s taken apart, and a parts list no but I sell timing kits with gaskets included so just hmu if you want a price on it
@@ProdigePerformance Appreciate u looking out, ill remember what u said if I ever take out the timing system in a newer one. The car ended up being traded in I just couldn't keep up with maintenance. : )
Ive had a P0014 code for a while now. And Autozone told me to replace the Engine Variable Timing Solenoid. That part looks much different, and I'm having a hard time finding it. But the part that you showed at the 4:27 mark. What do you suggest boss? I thank you for your time, amd really appreciate your video
You have 4 OCV solenoids You have 2 underneath the lower intake manifold and 2 on the valve covers, Valve covers are exhaust OCV The ones hidden behind the lower intake manifold are intake OCVs Most people replace all 4
The computer print out does say OCV, which I believe is the part that you showed in the video to get rid of the code. Which looks like a totally different part to replace. Please elaborate more. Thank you
hey brian, I saw on reddit that you can do the work, does the motor have to come out for you to do the work? and are you able to do intake camshafts and the VVT sprockets?
@@The_Bau5 I have a friend that works at the dealership and in the warehouse in Korea and get the sprockets by themselves. But if you Go to a dealership they’ll make you pay for the whole camshaft. If you’d like just message me on Instagram and I can see about getting you just the sprocket
Well first off this isn’t my vehicle lol. Secondly, most 3.8 chains tend to stretch by 100k miles. Which is why people change them around the 100k area. The tensioner is usually maxed out by 100k miles which indicates the chain has been stretched. There’s gen owners that are on oem timing components past 150k miles but most of the time they’re met with failure by either snapping causing internal damage or by having timing codes that restrict power. So sure you can stretch it out but majority of gens that do experience timing issues or engine failures
@@ProdigePerformance what if there’s a Tick under acceleration, not quite a knock.. but a tick, and it only ticks in gear manually trans. I can rev up in neutral, no tick. As soon as I go in any gear it ticks.. any suggestions?

Thanks for making and sharing this video. I was only replacing the exhaust OCV and this video provided the detail I needed.

@@jonathonbrown1559 same thing
How do you get the timing cover off? Mine so stuck on it won't budge
Hey Brian. Great video. Is it a single-row timing chain or dual-row?
Did you ever get a part list and what you would recommend replacing to refresh the engine while its torn half way apart

So that was the part the guy at Autozone recommended. You have any idea where that is by any chance?
Also I have I believe the BK2 style
@@chasenector3015 you can buy it from a. Dealership or I can get you one from overseas.
I watch one of your older videos, I was wondering if you still sold o2 housings for bk2 2.0 models
I do boss
Hmu on instagram. Prodige_Performance
All bolts are removed, but i can't get the timing cover off even after completely seperating pan. Really isnt anywhere great to pry from either
@@clayfravel4446 looks like you didn’t watch the video because I mention pry points on both sides
Is the same for the gdi 3.8 in the bk2
@@NotouriousDannyG essentially it’s the same process
hey brian, I saw on reddit that you can do the work, does the motor have to come out for you to do the work? and are you able to do intake camshafts and the VVT sprockets?
I’m able to do all Of that boss. Engine doesn’t need to be pulled out.
@@ProdigePerformance any idea on where to get the intake sprocket and camshafts?

Go to a dealership they’ll make you pay for the whole camshaft. If you’d like just message me on

Will this video be the same for the lambda gdi v6 someone help
Bro do you know how to fix code p0300
Did you get the parts description and where you got them?
Yes I just haven’t had time to update it. I’ll likely do it this weekend
You never got around to it 😅@@ProdigePerformance
You had to replace your chain at 86k miles??? Mine lasted through till 150k.

@@ProdigePerformance no hate here...I found your vid as I will have mine swapped next week
How would you know to replace this?
Does it make any noticeable noises?
@@Aquavios timing chain rattle upon cold starts or loose timing chain
@@ProdigePerformance what if there’s a Tick under acceleration, not quite a knock.. but a tick, and it only ticks in gear manually trans. I can rev up in neutral, no tick. As soon as I go in any gear it ticks.. any suggestions?
You'll hear a knocking sound when you start it up. You'll know it's not rod knock because the knocking goes away.
Where did you get the timing kit from?
I sell them boss
@@ProdigePerformance great, what’s the process?
@@Aqyrable message me on instagram
Prodige_performance
It’s a cam shaft timing sol vvt
When should this be done?
You'll hear the chain when it's stretched. When you start the car, it will sound like a knocking sound that goes away in a second or so.
I’m here because my homie flooded the genesis. Engine has lot of water
Good video I'm save this
