TIMING CHAIN 2.4 GM Ecotec Motor Replacement - DIY Ecotec Miata Swap
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Today I do something about a broken piece of a chain guide that I found in the oil pan. Of course that means replacing all the timing components: timing chain, balance shaft chain, guides, tensioners, oil squirter, and timing cover gasket. Plus some upgraded ZZPerformance guide bolts. And as typical it's the first time doing this job and it doesn't go well. Also, the motor is caked in carbon.
I suppose this video could have been titled "How I Changed the Timing Chain, Balance Shaft Chain, and Water Pump on a GM 2.4L LE5 Ecotec Motor Malibu, Cobalt, G6, G5, HHR, Aura, Ion" but that's a little dry, right?

Unfortunately this video isn't the install of the motor into the Miata, sorry. We're getting there but this unloved junky engine insists on teaching me new skills and testing my resolve. What's the worst unintended job you've had to do?
I have a 90 Miata and wanted an easy weekend project of cleaning up and painting my valve cover. After taking the valve cover off I noticed a decent amount of oil leaking around my timing belt and the front of the engine. Turns out my camshaft and crankshaft seals were bad and leaking oil, so my quick weekend project turned into replacing those seals, the timing belt with all new timing covers, accessory belts, the water pump, and an entire coolant hose kit.
Safe to say it wasn't a weekend project after all that.
@@Afterthought90Ouff! Good on you for noticing and getting it done! Talk about escalating
Once I started out doing a steering shaft update on an old El Camino we inherited to tighten up the loose steering. I came down with a case of ¨while I´m in there¨ and long story short, the car ended up with a complete suspension, brakes, wheels and tires all around. The worst part was the suspension bushing replacement. I should have just bought a cheap shop press.
I will be building an Ecotech engine to replace mine due to excessive oil consumption. I will use your links. You do a great job. Camera angles, clarity, editing, and sound are all on Point! I subbed. I expect this channel to blow up if you keep doing what you're doing.
Great to hear! These are kind of underrated engines and the experts like the ZZP guys say when built can be extremely stout and take a ton of boost.
This build series is so entertaining. I have to say, I do fear for that engine. Everything is soooooo DARK, you can tell that oil wasn't changed often lol.
Thx for the comment, it's certainly an ominous sign, not gonna lie!
Love the videos!
comment for the algo, love your channel
Excellent video! It seems like you’re following closely behind in my footsteps. I’m doing an ecotec swap on my Miata as well. I just finished up the timing and balance shaft chain install a few weeks ago. I had almost the same timing woes as you but it was for a different reason, causing me to tear it all down and start over again. Its frustrating, but fingers crossed I hope this swap will be worth the struggle
That's a relief, I'm not the only one that struggled! I'd love to chat further, could you email me at mostlyuselessgarage@gmail.com to compare notes on our swaps?
At least this double timing chain job was with the engine out of the car! All those colored links and timing arrows look like a puzzle.
You got it, really wish it wasn't necessary 😂 Thx for the support!
I'm not gonna lie, I'm doing a similar swap and seeing the trick you did with the screwdriver to tell if the cylinder is at TDC was incredibly helpful. I misaligned the cams and crank like an idiot🤦♂but my motor is a B207 so it needs new cams anyways.
NO WAY BRO U SHOWED HOW TO FIX THE EXACT MISTAKE I MADE LMFAO UR A FUCKING LEGEND
That's awesome your turbo motor should rip in this chassis. Check out the DDMWorks doc linked in the description for some great info on timing the motor correctly.
@@mostlyuselessgarage I bet it would! The motor im building is an LSJ I’m putting into a Pontiac Fiero (haven’t uploaded anything about it yet). Very similar swap so I’ve been using a lot of information from DF Goblin and Ecotec Miata swaps:)
Definitely will check out DDMWorks’ documentation too! Thank you!
That'll be a weapon with the supercharged LSJ ... Good luck with the build dude!
@@mostlyuselessgarage Thanks man! Good luck to you too! Subscribed to ya to see where it goes:)
Fucking awesome thanks
