• Q: How to replace the engine front timing cover on 2010 Buick Lucerne?

  A: The process of replacing the engine front cover begins with draining the cooling system through static fill or vac-n-fill methods. To begin the procedure start by disconnecting the drive belt tensioner followed by the removal of Oil Pan and crankshaft balancer and crankshaft position actuator magnet as well as Thermostat Housing and Water Pump. Start by removing the bolts securing the front engine cover then pull off the coolant hose and separate the combination of front engine cover and gasket. Begin installation by laying down the engine front cover gasket before setting the engine front cover in its position. Screw and torque the engine front cover bolts to 25 nm (18 lb ft). Process by reinstalling the Water Pump together with the Thermostat Housing and crankshaft position actuator magnet before adding the crankshaft balancer and Oil Pan and drive belt tensioner. To finish the cooling system installation use static fill or vac-n-fill for fluid addition.
