    Q:
    How to replace the engine front timing cover on Chevrolet Equinox? Posted by Customer
    A:
    You must start by disconnecting the negative Battery Cable when replacing the engine front cover along with removal of the air cleaner assembly. The first step involves installing the engine support fixture followed by Drive Belt removal. Start by draining the cooling system followed by vehicle suspension. Crankshaft balancer, lower belt idler pulley and engine Oil Pan need to be removed from the engine. The procedure starts by removing the left belt idler pulley while also taking out the right Engine Mount Bracket bolts (2-4) and finally extracting the right Engine Mount Bracket. Extract the Water Pump along with the thermostat bypass hose adapter and radiator outlet hose from the engine front cover. First remove bolts holding the engine front cover (2-4) and break the connection between front cover and engine block. Clean the sealing surfaces before placing the engine front cover on with its new gasket . Apply sealer to the lower tabs of the engine front cover gasket creating a minimum bead width of 5.0 mm (0.20 in). Install the gasket by position it on the engine block while aligning with the retaining pins. Use the engine front cover bolts (3, 4) to fasten the cover by applying 55 n.m (41 lb ft) torque and bolt to 27 n.m (20 lb ft). Place the radiator outlet hose in its position along with the thermostat bypass hose adapter and Water Pump. Start by positioning the right Engine Mount Bracket correctly and installing bulges (2-4) with a torque of 55 n.m (41 lb ft). Progress to the Engine Mount Bracket bulges that need 25 n.m (18 lb ft). Install the left belt idler pulley before elevating the vehicle again to fit the engine Oil Pan with the added step of installing the lower belt idler pulley. Put the crankshaft balancer back into place after lowering the vehicle and installing the Drive Belt. Reinstall the air cleaner assembly then restore the negative Battery Cable before removing the engine support fixture. Finally, fill the cooling system.
