2009 Buick Lucerne Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the engine front timing cover on 2009 Buick Lucerne?

  A: Draining the cooling system requires the vac-n-fill or static fill technique before beginning front cover engine replacement. The installation process begins by extracting the drive belt tensioner followed by removing the Oil Pan and crankshaft balancer and crankshaft position actuator magnet along with the Thermostat Housing and Water Pump. Begin by removing engine front cover bolts then disconnect the coolant hose from the front cover before fully removing both components. You should start by positioning the new engine front cover gasket and then carefully set the engine front cover in place. Insert the engine front cover bolts into place and torque them to 25 nm (18 lb.ft) for optimal tightening. You must install the Water Pump and Thermostat Housing and crankshaft position actuator magnet and crankshaft balancer and Oil Pan and drive belt tensioner. Use the recommended method to complete cooling system filling.
