As the title states, my wife's 2012 Chevy Equinox has recently started making some wicked valvetrain noises and surging at a stop sometimes. It runs fine otherwise (the noises started on our trip to Calgary this weekend). From the research I've done, its needing a timing chain replacement. Currently it has 150,000kms on it and apparently its a problem with the 2.4L ecotec. Has anyone on here done one of these before? I'm a HD mechanic by trade so I'm not too worried about it, just need to get the shop manual for it so the timing is put back correctly. I've found an AC Delco timing chain kit online for $125 which is way cheaper than I anticipated. Any pointers from those who have done one of these before?
