- didn’t see any videos of this job on youtube so figured why not post one? the car had a pretty loud ticking noise that sounded like a bad tct on an S2000 so figured replacing the tct would help this car. enjoy!
Good to know that someone put out the budget friendly version of the timing chain rattle fix. These aren't the newest cars and they're usually bought by younger people that can't afford to put money into them for whatever reason. So it's good to have this out there, thanks!
3:55 "Cause your special" lmao
THANK YOU. mine has been making a super annoying noise
I have no idea what's going on but fun to watch! If only I could have your expertise on my Chevy Cruze that was driven 150 miles with 50/50 diesel/gas mix...
Thanks for this video, Jack.
You said “didn’t see any videos on TH-cam of this so figured I make one myself” fast forward to 6:05 …“well forgot to record the rest of it” you prove that some people are just useless in life.
F in the chat to the ones that didn’t finish the video and started their car
So you rotate counter clockwise insert pin and then back clockwise while the old tensioner is in the car still? or once the new tensioner is installed?
Rotate it counterclockwise first to put the pin in the old tensioner and then rotate it clockwise to lock the pin into the old tensioner. Make sure to stuff a rag or something on the back side of the timing guide (it’s the part that gets pushed in by the tensioner)
Did you have to time the engine?
How do you keep the tension on the chain will you change it?
You don't have to, just don't move the crank pulley while the tensioner is out.
So to make sure I understand , you said when I install the new tct rotate the crank counter clockwise to secure the pin and once I pull the pin rotate it clockwise to engage it ?
clockwise not counter clockwise
When you start the car after putting in the new tensioner it will rotate clockwise so I don't see why you need to rotate by hand.
So there's no slack on start-up, is my guess. The starter's going to put a lot more torque on that timing chain than your arm. Better safe than sorry.
Nice
What were you eating
Did the ticking noise subside?
Yeah, but then when that went away I had noticed another noise which ended up being a spun bearing lol, ended up rebuilding the engine. Spun bearing was not a result of the chain tensioner service though, the owner informed me that the knock had been happening on and off for a while. The oil pan looked like a grenade went off hahahaha
had to stop watching after the 10th time smacking lips 😂😂
Any updates ??
Is that my cold start noise
UMMMMM, thanks!
lol it was a one take i was thinking out loud but yes i agree the ums are pretty annoying hahahahahah
also nice ctr fella
Why did you replace it?
Car had 190k miles and was making a pretty obnoxious ticking noise that sounded like timing chain slack. Replacing it ended up fixing the noise but at that mileage that's reasonable preventative maintenance whether it fixed the noise or not.
What miles was ur at
Nearing 200k
Do you have to retime it?
Sorry just seeing this now, you do not have to retime so long as the crank pulley does not move. If it does move, even a little bit, then yes you do.
Should be fine...lol
Did this once successfully, the next time it jumped time.
Honestly don't know what I did differently the 2nd time.
It needs to be done again, at 245,000 miles, and I have seen several K series guys say it will jump time if you don't keep tension somehow. Don't see how that is possible without removing the front cover.
You can always pull the valve cover and check timing
Don't rotate the crank counter-clockwise and you wont have any issues
