Upon removal of the old solenoids, the center screens had a layer of plastic shavings(likely from the front guide being ground away from chain). Upon opening cover I found all large pieces of the front guide, so don't think I have any pieces in the pickup. Engine has significantly more power, not 100% though. Took pictures of my timing marks after checking for idk. Over time engine became sluggish.įinally got into the engine to replace Balance chain, guides, tensioner and timing chain, guides, tensioner, Phasers and solenoids, gaskets(All items ACDELCO). However in the coming weeks the engine just kept randomly clunking at idle(guides breaking apart) and would return to normal. This is also the time the CEL came on for P0016 and P0017. This is when i realized I really needed to watch oil level through oil changes. I KNOW my last oil change wasn't counted wrong as I specifically bought a 5qt oil jug instead of my 6 gallon box I normally buy. Made it another mile to the gas station and added 3 qts of oil. Hard for me to track how much come out cause it dumps into a 20qt container.Ībout 9 months later we are driving down the highway and engine lost power for a split second then regained it then continues driving fine for the last mile to the exit. The next few oil changes I did at 3k miles each. Assumed I did a bad oil change at home and counted quarts wrong and was low as there are no obvious signs of oil leaks or oil burning. Brough it to my mechanic and he said low on oil. Last year I had some timing chain noise on start up. To start I have a 2015 Equinox with a 2.4L with 140K miles. Hi All! Read through a few posts, but still cant quote find an answer for my issue.
