HOW TO REPLACE TIMING CHAINS ON CADILLAC CTS • HOW TO REPLACE TIMING ...
Hey Folks! Welcome back to the channel. In this video I'll show how to reset a timing chain tensioner from a GM vehicle. This one happens to belong to a Cadillac CTS with the 3.6L V6 motor. Be sure to check out the timing chain replacement videos too. We had to replace the timing chains because of codes P0008 and P0017. The 3.6L (Alloytec, high feature, HFV6) motor also came in the Cadillac SRX, STS, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Chevy Malibu, among others.

Man awesome video. I work at a mechanic shop and you saved us money after I destroyed a tensioner in a vice trying to reactivate it. Thanks so much
Awesome👍
I am very grateful to you, you have saved me from a big problem that I had gotten into. I had more than one struggle with this tensioner and I had not been able to reset it.
👍
Thank you! I didn't realize the plunger needed to be reset. It just didn't seem like it was going back in all the way. It's brand new and I thought it was defective
Thanks for the video, I done 2 timing belts first timing chain today, and had no idea on chain tensioners, thank you
👍
Thankyou brother its a bigg hepl for me my self try to change a new one unfortunately pick the pin lock and confused
Thank-you
👍
Thanks for the assist. Couldnt figure out why it refused to go back in
👍
If i had my timing belt and water pump changed and valve cover gasket changed....should the tuning chain tensions have been changed at the same time to save money....in the long run?
I have a 2014 Cadillac SRX 3.6 v6 and on a cold start it clatters for about one to two seconds. Then it stops and runs fine until I kill the motor and if I wait maybe 30 minutes it will again clatter on startup and again it stops. Any ideas.
Maybe loose timing chains or something in the valve train? How many miles?
Just what I needed to see, thank you!
I don't know why people are being rude in the comments, just ignore them
Very informative video
Thanks! Glad it helped.
Thank you!
👍
Okay so I got a 4.2 vortec straight-6 on a 02 TrailBlazer I'm trying to do the timing I just redid the head gasket got it to start once then it died would not start again got my timing cover off trying to loosen my tensioner but it seems like the tensioner is stuck or does not want to compress even when you released the little lever thingy on the tensioner it does not compress to loosen up what's wrong or what am I doing wrong
thanks i needed that so simple
👍
i don't have any OE pins for the tensioners, i need to reset mine, and tips on where to buy the proper pins? i can't seem to find something the same size that works.
I would probably try a couple different sizes of paper clips.
Is the balance shaft tensioner SUPPOSED to have give after activation, or should it lock in place like the timing tensioner does once activated?
Do I depress and put a pin in the old one when removing it from vehicle
Thank you soo much
👍
thanks maaan
👍
Thank you so much for this video really helped a lot solving my tensioner problem
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
What about replacing the oil and what type of oil?
We used whatever the owner’s manual called for
After u lock the tensioner it stays locked, how fo you release the lock once it's installed
You pull the pin 👍
I'm guessing he means when u pull the pin it don't release the spring from the plunger part@@KevinNadeau
My plunger doesn’t even come out all the way can I still reset it
Possibly, can you seat it all the way down? May have to twist it.
Hello, this is the third time I have opened my car due to chain rattle. I noticed that once you activate the left and right tensiónese, there’s a certain area where it locks up and prevents the tensioner a from bottoming out. Well my lower tensioner, the one with the guide doesn’t seem to extend to that point where it prevents it from bottoming out and when I rotate the crank, the tensioner bottoms out and the chain gets loose. So my question is, is the bottom tensioner suppose to bottom out and certain engine rotation by hand? I know this video is old but I would really appreciate your response. Thank you! And yes! ‘Merica!!!
Have you replaced the chains? Are they stretched?
@@KevinNadeau everything is brand new
@@KevinNadeau brand new phasers, chains, guides, sprockets and tensioners from cloyes
@@fparedes86 Are your tensioners functioning properly? Did you have to reset them like I showed in the video? Also, the tensioners are pressurized by oil pressure. Any concerns about low oil preasure?
What brand kit did you use? I had a problem with doorman tensioners collapsing while pressure bleeds off while car is off. Then you get that rattle upon start up
So they make a lot to stop the guide from coming apart on the driver side of engine
Mine dont have holes for a pin... idk what to do
Nice!
Why is this kore thna 27 seconds
This video did not help at all. My tensioner is a ratchet type that does not allow to push the piston back into the housing. What is the process to reset a ratchet tape tensioner?
Get to the reset bro.. sheesh
you really have to mention to really seat the the plunger to the bottom properly ( I do it with a vise) otherwise you will have to redo the tensioner job as it will not work... I had that happened to me brand new in the box. so now I rest them myself before install... GM is crap!!!
Dude u were talking up a storm
its not as easy as just pulling the pin. i have done a lot of these jobs on the 3.6 gm engine. maybe 20% of the time the tensioners dont lock when you pull the pin. you have to make sure the tensioner ratchets and locks into the first step of the ratchet. if you dont you will get chain rattle at cold start up because the oil bleeds off overnight and the chain gets too loose. to test take a screwdriver and pry against the shoe and put pressure on the tensioner. if it retracts all the way its not right.
Doing one right now.. how do you fix it? Put new tensioners and all 3 go back to "pin in" position
According to Haynes manual it says to push the guide against the tensioner, but this does nothing
Wrong it is that easy, u pull the pin and it releases the spring mechanism below , if it don't pop out then it's cause it didn't release the spring, common on the cheaper tennisioner s
Damn dude all you do is ramble try focusing on the job,DAMN!!!
