Thanks simon for your swift reply, just done replacing timing belt... One tip; if youre not putting silicon oil to clutch fan, no need to remove the clutchnfan itself, just remove the fan blade mounted by 4 bolts, then you' ll have enough room to access 3 mounting bolts..
Hi Simon. Your videos are awesome and have helped me out very much. I actually did a Ford 1.0 ecoboost head gasket easily because of your video. Am doing the same vehicle as in the video, here in South Africa it is called Chevrolet Trailblazer. I am looking for torque specs for cyljnder head and pistons.
You adjusted the timing belt tensioner WRONG. To tension, the arrow needs to be in line with the V on the other part of the tensioner. Did you have any issues with the engine so far?
Thanks for your video. I have watched another where they remove the plastic cover on end of timing shaft and used a special tool to lock the timing shaft from turning. Is there any risk when not locking the timing shaft. Great video Simon.
I have the same truck its called Chevrolet Colorado in my place more subscribers to come mate! 😁 I got problem in finding the wrench size for the Clutch fan
I wonder if this is an interference engine. If the belt breaks would it got the valves? Just got myself a trailblazer with a duramax 2.8 and Iove it so far but it surprised me that has a belt
hey mate great video. which way does the crank sprocket bolt turn to undo it? my Tbelt broke and snapped all the rockers arms and damaged the crank sproket.
HELLO COLORADO HORSE MASTERS I HAVE A CHEVO EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE IT REACHES 3200, THE ENGINE STARTS BUT IT HAS NO POWER WHEN I'M DRIVING IT, IT DOESN'T FIRE WHEN I'M GETTING DOWN TO IT OI WHAT'S WHY THIS PLEASELET COLORADO
My mechanic changed my timing belt and water pump and it has error P0017 Service Vehicle Soon error. He changed my crank angle sensor and it's still there. He checked his timing paint marks and he said they line up. If its out by 1/2 or 1 tooth how do I get it fixed.
The way you have tensioned that timing belt is not correct. It has an arrow and index mark as to the load when the belt is new. A lot of miss information if a rookie is going to attempt this themselves it’ll likely cost them an engine.
Great video. Thank you for that! How long do you think it took you to do the whole project? I really appreciate the fact that you made this video in your driveway. Like most of us. If you weren’t half way around the world, I’d be heading over to your place for breakfast. Cheers!
Hi all. Can anyone give any guidance on how to properly re-align all shafts prior to refitting the timing belt? My 2013 Colorado RG’s timing belt broke at idle. 8 x rocker arms broken but I’m advised it’s likely the valves are likely to be ok so just want to try new rocker arms and see how it goes. Problem is I’m not 100% sure how to re-align camshafts with crankshaft and injector pump. Also, the camshaft timing belt pulley was removed without marking the pulley to inlet camshaft orientation. I’m certain there must be a way by lining up TDC to camshaft position and injector position. I have the Haynes manual, but so far everything points to changing a timing belt that isn’t broken. Might’ve missed the section I need, but happy to be corrected or advised either way. Cheers in advance.
Don't tension belt like you did!!! You need a mirror to watch the arrow at the back to line up with the slot. 28:12. The hex has nothing to do with position. It's the pointer arrow that needs to be lined up with the slot/marker at 6 o'clock.
What's the result of not doing it right asking for a friend who just did and i think he has a problem now. Either he didn't keep timing by making marks accurately OR he didn't set belt tension properly. And a 'service soon' warnings come on

I have a 2016 Chevy Colorado 2.8 diesel... will have to do the belt pretty soon but its been a solid truck.... 2wd and it gets 40 mpgs highway
Can you please explain how you get 40MPG? I only average 31MPG, HWY.

IT SEEMS HE IS AN AMATEUR
Hi Simon, great informative video. You make this job look easy.
I like your cool attitude, great job.
All the best

thanks bro
How far have you been mileage wise since you done this? Any issues or anything you would change that you did? Thanks!

yes single cam shart easy
I have the same truck its called Chevrolet Colorado in my place more subscribers to come mate! 😁 I got problem in finding the wrench size for the Clutch fan
29mm
@@fratalia i bought 36mm it fits well
Yes the U.S and Canada are 36mm GMC and Chevy
I wonder if this is an interference engine. If the belt breaks would it got the valves? Just got myself a trailblazer with a duramax 2.8 and Iove it so far but it surprised me that has a belt
yes it will hit the valves...if you very lucky ....99.5% will hit the valves
hey mate great video. which way does the crank sprocket bolt turn to undo it? my Tbelt broke and snapped all the rockers arms and damaged the crank sproket.
look like tou have to take the head out and recon the head
So I guess is an interference engine
good video explanation simon ...how much $$$ to do this job ?
depend bro
Hey Simon where you located
i live near bankstown
sir! any way you can help me time one of these engines?

Them engines have special tool you slot into cam side because, they don’t put mark on cam gear
it if you have tools make jobs easy...

Is the engine running rought? Or loose power
@@TheDingdong78 lost a little power but that could be my intercooler that has a hole in it. Replacing it tomorrow.
Have to bring back ask your machenic put it in right way
@@TheDingdong78 he's in the Philippines for three weeks but going to look at it on return. He wants it sorted as well.
Is the car loose power
Hello, how did you remove the shroud, its hard to lift the radiator with the shroud attach
did you take off the oil cooler hose attack to radiator?
@@TheDingdong78 yes..i can lift the radiator but cannot go allway beacuse of shroud attached to the radiator
when you undone the oil hose and 2 top bracket .and the plastic cover around and you ahould pull it up ..
i pull it out very easily
@@TheDingdong78 its ok now, thanks, theres a comment here that says you did the tensioner setting wrong...can you enlighten us
The way you have tensioned that timing belt is not correct. It has an arrow and index mark as to the load when the belt is new. A lot of miss information if a rookie is going to attempt this themselves it’ll likely cost them an engine.
What is the correct tension
Joshua Tabiles there is a dial indicator behind the pulley to set the initial load. It self tensions after that.
Great video. Thank you for that! How long do you think it took you to do the whole project?
I really appreciate the fact that you made this video in your driveway. Like most of us.

Thanks brother
do you have video for crankshaft oi seal?
no bro

Rocker broken beware the valve may bend...
Google image diagrams for it .you will know what to do

Good job
How many Km we can replace a new one?
normally 30000km.but i see every one push to 100000km depend how good the drivers care
@@TheDingdong78 thanks
It's 150 000 km in Australia, 150 000 miles for a Chevy.?? Go figure???
good vidio well done
THANK YOUUUU AHHHHHHH!!!!! 😂
THE TIMING MARK IS IN CRANKSHAFT AND IN FUEL INJECTOR
I had to have a rest after the fan removal.that was excruciating!
lol..that bolt bolt for the fan so terrible to remove...plumping tools i use work very well...inlude extras bars
I can't stop laughing 😂😂😂
@@rocknral Never seen anything like it !!!
No need to remove that
i can feel how hard to lose the fan😁
Old school like all the Ford falcon
Veery goodly
There’s an easy way to remove the propeller
THERES NO TIMING MARK IN CAMSHAFT
Soo much wrong with how you did this it’s not funny. 🤦♂️
Is the irony of this lost on everyone.
