Oh dude thank you. I passed the 100k miles and got notified to replace timing belt. Now at 110k miles, cylinder 1 is mis-firing. I assumed it was due to timing belt slip. But my left mark on cam is slightly higher(exactly like yours, so I’m glad to see that is normal. Now to find out what’s really misfiring cylinder 1
I made a mistake, i took the timing belt off first without lining anything up. I understand TDC. So the bottom arrow in lined up. The left came is lined up, the right is not. I can only spin it haft a turn then no more. How do i get that cam aligned?
I have the same car and I did the timing perfect. After a few months the new tensioner failed and the belt was loose took it apart retimed it replaced the tensioner then put it back together. Ever since I have had the engine light on. Took it apart 3 other times and can't seem to fix the issue now. Any ideas why I can't seem to fix this now ?
@@OneTrickTech p0016 I replaced the 2 sensors. There is still a little bit of jerking when the brake is applied and seems like it runs a little rough like the idle is to high.
@@OneTrickTech yes I was thinking the same. Can I take the belt off and realign the cams from the back and make sure it's top dead center with the timing tool to lock it all down and put the belt on ?
yes realign the camshafts first, then check the crank sprocket, if its off you can align it. Its easier to align the crank sprocket than the cam sprockets. If one cam sprocket is off, you will have to take off the valve cover and realign from there, because if it needs to go counterclockwise you wont be able to move it, you will need to physically move the whole camshaft.
These 1.8 GMs timming belt jobs are actually not to bad to do. That's the good news. Buying the high quality Cleves kit is MANDITORY. I did and still have timming belt slap. She fires right up and drives well, but its like I never pulled the pin out of the tensioner... NOT my first timming belt job. The Cruze automatically tells you to change timming belt at 100k. I think the manual says 75-80k is max life for belts. Way too soon.
my exhaust sprocket (right sprocket) went counter clock wise by one tooth when I was taking off the belt and had bad autozone rental tool that didn't hold my sprockets in place.. but the Crank shaft sprocket bolt and camshaft intake sprocket (left sprocket) stayed inline and still line up together when rotating clock wise can I just take the timing belt off and move the exhaust sprocket by one tooth clock wise.. lock it in place and put the belt back on.. of course with the Crank shaft sprocket bolt and camshaft intake sprocket still inline... will this be fine to do?
yea you can do that, but you might need someone to help you hold it in place while you put the locking tool. The torx on it is a T55, have someone turn it 1 tooth clockwise and lock it in place, If you go too far, it will jump like 2 teeth so be carful
@@OneTrickTech thank you so much Should I lock the fly wheel while doing this? Also is it common when one tooth is out that p0016 and p0017 codes show up
@@JonathanJimenez_metalriff6 yea you can leave the fly wheel locked. If its 1 tooth off you could get misfires code or cam crank correlation codes, not sure for the exact numbers

Much appreciated for sharing this important information.
0:48 nice idea, with the video on the top right🤠👍
good video... record doing transmission tcm filter replacement xD

Hi there who to set a timing for chevOrlando around Port Eli,aberth
I have the same car and I did the timing perfect. After a few months the new tensioner failed and the belt was loose took it apart retimed it replaced the tensioner then put it back together. Ever since I have had the engine light on. Took it apart 3 other times and can't seem to fix the issue now. Any ideas why I can't seem to fix this now ?
whats the engine light code
@@OneTrickTech p0016 I replaced the 2 sensors. There is still a little bit of jerking when the brake is applied and seems like it runs a little rough like the idle is to high.
the timing is off, I believe one of the camshaft is a tooth off, re-check timing marks and also check crank sprocket. you are 1 tooth off somewhere
@@OneTrickTech yes I was thinking the same. Can I take the belt off and realign the cams from the back and make sure it's top dead center with the timing tool to lock it all down and put the belt on ?

My timing belt stripped teeth off, how bad gonna be for me? Are the valves screwed?

what torque to tighten the bolt of the roller, tensioner and shaft?
both tensioner and idler is around 15-20ft-lbs. Crank pulley bolt is around 70-75 ft-lbs.
@@OneTrickTech Thank you for your answer

but the Crank shaft sprocket bolt and camshaft intake sprocket (left sprocket) stayed inline and still line up together when rotating clock wise
can I just take the timing belt off and move the exhaust sprocket by one tooth clock wise.. lock it in place and put the belt back on.. of course with the Crank shaft sprocket bolt and camshaft intake sprocket still inline...
will this be fine to do?
i only ask because i noticed the camshaft sprockets both have in the middle the ability to turn the sprocket using a T wrench of some kind
yea you can do that, but you might need someone to help you hold it in place while you put the locking tool. The torx on it is a T55, have someone turn it 1 tooth clockwise and lock it in place, If you go too far, it will jump like 2 teeth so be carful

@@OneTrickTech thank you so much!
Pardon my ignorance. I've only done a few timing belt and I've noticed there's no marks on the belt how does that work?
No need. As long as the marks are on the camshaft and crankshaft line up.
@@OneTrickTech I appreciate the answer and the video. Do I just pull the slack to the tensioner side?
yes when putting it on the new belt. I have a full video here ruclips.net/video/FHlmLxMCaYw/видео.html
@OneTrickTech thanks. I have seen it, and it's the best one. I just noticed nobody talked about timing marks on the belt.
@@MrMK211516 I know what you mean though. You can mark the old belt and then transfer the marks onto the new one to help you align it perfectly.
