- Chevy Colorado/ GMC Canyon 3.5 i5 engine that I remove the cylinder head to have it rebuilt. I show case how to use the Ferom Tools kit and how it allows you to remove the head without removing the oil pan or front timing cover.

Best head removal video I've seen for the 3.5/3.7 I5. Great job!
Thank you, I really appreciate it. I will have the next video up of me assembling the head after the machine shop up this week and then hopefully the install video up the following week.
Wow i want to try do this, you my friend make it look easy, the only thing i am concerned about the timing belt, very good video,
Just mark the timing chain and make sure everything lines back up. After that it is not so bad. The tools make it way easier as well
Thank you, sure i will do that, if i make a video i will post it hopefully everything goes well, maybe 3 weeks
This video is helping me out tremendously as I get ready to start doing the exact same activities on my 2005 Colorado 5-cylinder engine this weekend. Thanks for taking the extra time and effort to film your work while also explaining it too!
One question though, is the cam lock tool needed any longer during disassembly once you have placed paint marks on the sprockets and timing chain links? Does it also help with holding the camshafts stationary while loosening the sprocket bolts?
it is more of a guide and really does not need to be used but I would use it just to be safe.
At 12:15…it is no where near that simple. I bought the tool, but the one to lock the flywheel won’t go in there for all the money in the world. It’s as if it will not clear the teeth. As if the Lange with the teeth is too thick or the radius is incorrect. It infuriates me to pay that much for a tool that’s hopefully single use and then have to take a file or grinder to it
Someone else I know purchased the tool as well and had an issue installing the flywheel holder. Let them use mine and it went right in. We compared them and the teeth were thicker than the one I had. It may be a design issue or a revision they need to focus on.
For $200 plus shipping I'll just pull the pan, cover and timing. Overpriced in my opinion. Good video!
chevy head bolts always wanting to break
Especially on the atlas style engines. Everytime I do a head on one of them at least one snaps.
Thank you for this video! If at all possible, How would I go about doing all of this without the timing tool set?
Your welcome. One of two ways. 1) Do the entire job by the book and remove the oil pan and all of that stuff then just make sure the marks are lined up when putting the chain back on or 2) you can get a piece of metal solid square stock (preferably aluminum) roughly 1/2" thick and grind it to a point so you can stick it between the tensioner and block. I don't suggest method two as it can/will mess up something if not done correctly and safely. If you, and anyone reading this, decide to go that route just remember I have never done it that way nor would I ever. Just do which ever way you are doing it at your own risk. I suggest getting the tools and doing it that way. I know they are not cheap but I would rather spend the money on the tools now rather than destroy an engine and spend more that way. Hope this helps. Sorry it was so long by the way.
Good job.. makes it look very easy
I broke loose the bolts on both camshaft sprockets (but didn’t remove them) prior to inserting the wedge tool or camshaft lock tool. Is this going to cause timing issues?
No this will not cause any issue as long at you did not remove them completely.
Luckily, I didn’t totally remove the bolt. Thanks for the info!
If in only pulling the head to replace the gasket
do i need the that timing tool?
You would need the tool or something to hold the chain and tensioner in place while you remove and re-install the head unless you do it the long way which calls for removing the oil pan and front timing cover completely. You could probably use something like a piece of wood or some kind of wedge. I know a lot of people do not want to purchase the tool and I understand that.
@@operationoverhaul thanks for your help!
How did you rotate the engine to get it in time?😊
I used the crank bolt to rotate it.
great job how much to fix mine?
I charged the customer around 1300 to do this job and that was not the cost of the machine shop and parts.
What direction should I turn the head bolts 10 mm? Is it clockwise or counterclockwise
To remove them, you turn them counter clockwise.
