Thanks for the video - tons of helpful info. Extra tips 1) I drained some water out of the cooling system so none would leak out of that cooling line in the middle of the cam cover. I used the small cooling line attached to the passenger side top of the radiator. 2) the cooling line straight out of the turbo I just did a gradual bend to move it over far enough to clean the cam cover 3) in the back on passenger side there is another metal line I was able to bend slightly to get out of the way 4) the wiring connectors for the cam sensors were a pain after sliding the white piece over I had to use some pliers and gently squeeze it to get them to release
Good Vid Bro. I had the daunting task of changing that vacuum pump. But they explode when the break apparently, and part blew off in the valve cover. So turned into a bigger job. So imma just buy the gasket kit since its open.
That pcv hose on top of the valve cover can be removed using a quick disconnect. If you shave the flat ridge off with a sharp knife, you can then get the quick disconnect in and it pops free.
Hey man thanks for this video. I am having leaking near the turbo cover too, I can see the oil leaks. How many hours does this job take? And do I need any special tools to complete this job?
Thanks..great video. I have a 2015. get code p1101. Was told to change valve cover kit, service crank case and throttle assembly as all the valves were plugged with oil. You know your stuff..does this seem right? I don't have excessive oil leakage or dripping.
@locutus1126 Thanks alot man.💯 It's hard to say without being able to diagnose it, but that code is aiming at the mass airflow sensor. I would check the wires and test the sensor before replacing. Check air fliter and check for vacuum leaks. A smoke test find any leaks.
I didn't use torque specs. Been doing it so long, I know when the bolts are tight enough. It don't take much. Over tighten them and they'll break for sure. But you can Google it.www.cadillacforums.com/threads/bolt-torque-specs.967570/
How do you replace the seal at the end of the valve cover where the vacuum pump goes? Mine is completely destroyed. Is there a part in particular for it? I got a vacuum pump seal from the deal, but it doesn’t appear to be the seal at the end of the valve cover. Let me know. Thanks
Good job man …but I have to point you should showing us the details you cut most of important details in video these are really important because I did this job and it’s really painful…how ever thanks again…good luck…
What details you talking bout man? I showed everything I did. Step by step... The most important info. The hardest part is removing and installing the vacuum pump. What more do you want me to show?
Hello comrade, thank you for your video, I was encouraged to change the gaskets on my ATS 2015 2.0T, I already removed all the hoses, screws and the vacuum valve, but could you please support me, the large aluminum cover does not come up, now I tried and hit the black part of the wall of fire, how did you get it, could you please help me, is it pulling up or towards some specific side? Thank you for your support, greetings.
Think mine is having the same problem smh might get out there myself. I’m just annoyed about the hoses on top of the engine. Particularly the one you pointed out that needs a special tool to get off. I replaced that one earlier this year smh. Thing took a long time to get off even with the tool I was livid 😂😂😂
Oh shit, for real??😳🤣 That's insane man. They make it so difficult to remove.smh I said fuk it and kept that mf on.lol I know it wasn't coming off without that special tool. I hope you get thru this job smooth, cuz the Vacuum pump a pain.😑 Thanks for watching man
@@ThePullUpKing hey man it’s me again Ive finally gotten around to this job. Can you tell anymore about that hidden back screw on the vacuum pump? I’ve basically clear the top of the engine of all connects and hoses, removed two out of the three screws for the vacuum pump, and have the final screw that’s hidden on the left of the pump loosened to the point that it’s wiggling around. The only thing is that this screw won’t come out. It’s as if the threaded plastic in the hole has the screw caught up or something. This is pretty much stopping me from fully removing the vacuum pump. We got the pump pushed back but not completely separated from the valve cover. And also what did you do to pry and separated the valve cover from the engine block ?
So do you put a continuous bead of the gasket sealant all the way around the valve cover or just those three spots like you pointed out And what brand of valve cover sealant did you use?
Lol This job a bitch that's why. Don't nobody feel like squeezing they hand back there to remove that damn Vacuum Pump.🥴 I said I'm turning these down bro, unless it's mine.
Jeez what a mess. I was thinking of doing this my self but mine isn't nearly as bad although i did recently re torque the bolts which seemed to help a bit and u might want to replace the Gasket on the turbo oil line at the upper side (mine was leaking there) How many miles u got on that thing? Also are those zzp coil packs worth it? Thanks for the content hopefully i dont have to do this.
147k miles. Coil look good for sure. Not sure how great they work, tho. Zzp told me not to buy them for my 2.0 build. Forged Pistons, Cams, etc. Less money I need to spend. I assume they do well on stock internals.
I worked on mine today it's 2.5l though. it has the same coolant pipe that goes from expansion tank to engine. Maaan! that line is leaking coolant everywhere. Is there an ring that goes though the pipe before it goes into the engine? Please let me know. I'm in a pickle lol.
Aww man, damn.lol Make sure it's pushed in and seated properly. I don't remember it having a gasket. I definitely would have pointed that out for yall.
We need more people like you, so they can point the finger at and say , that’s the mechanic guy we need!!! Thank you sir
No thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Best video iv seen in a long time. GREAT HELP. Much appreciated bro!!!!

No problem. It's always more than one way to do a repair. This is just how I got it done. Thanks for watching.
@@ThePullUpKing Agreed. I’m just adding some thoughts in case they might help the next guy.
@chupposity I know. Just stating the obvious. Thanks again
This is the exact video that I needed! Thank you!!

I'll be tackling the same problem when my gasket kit shows up. What was the torque value you used for the install? Thanks!

Great video man, im curious is the gasket sealent necessary? I need to do this exact same thing and want to do it right... thanks for the video.

Sounds like you didn't remove all the bolts from the valve cover. Once they're removed, you can use a flathead to pry it up.
Oh man ur a life saver its the pump in the back which is fucking me over right now haha

Ese carro si encendía antes de que cambiarás los empaques o no arrancaba?
Started right up no problem before and after.
Nice wheels, what size? i was looking to upgrade myself but I"m unsure whats the biggest & widest i can go for tires as well without modifications
I believe 20s. It's a customer's car. Not mine.
So do you put a continuous bead of the gasket sealant all the way around the valve cover or just those three spots like you pointed out
And what brand of valve cover sealant did you use?
Permatext. Yes, only in those areas I pointed out. If you need to use the sealant to help hold the gasket in place, you can.
Thank you

What’s the torque specs and sequence on the valve cover though?
Shops turned u down? Lol how exactly did they word it when they said no?

Did your coils stay dry after this?
Yea
I keep this is my engine cause i have the same coils lol
