In this one I figure out why a 1998 Suzuki Sidekick Sport with a 1.8 liter engine won't go over 55mph, and why all the cylinders are misfiring. With a recently installed timing chain, I didn't think that would be the problem, but an improperly installed timing chain can cause all kinds of issues. I'm just glad this engine didn't blow up in the process of discovering what was wrong!
Torque specs:
Cam sprocket bolts: 57.5 ft-lbs
Cam bearing caps: 106 in-lbs
Valve cover nuts: 96 in-lbs
Oil pan bolts/nuts: 96 in-lbs
Timing Cover bolts: 96 in-lbs
Small chain tensioner: bolts 96 in-lbs, nut 33 ft-lbs
Large chain tensioner: nut 18.5 ft-lbs, bolts 96 in-lbs
Chain guide bolts: 78 in-lbs
Crankshaft pulley bolt: 109 ft-lbs
Excellent video! Thank you 😊 Just wanted a sneak preview for what I'm getting into. Love the little pointers, exactly what I needed. Cheers 🩷
Have fun! It's pretty straight forward. 👍
Awesome man, I have a 2012 FJ Trail Teams and a 1995 Geo Tracker. Love the vids, been working on my tracker and learning too.
The trackick platform is pretty cool!
I have made a habit, when working on anything, to take a bunch of photo before, and while I am working on anything. It helps stop things like forgetting the spacer. Not just cars, construction, etc. helpful at the store, or asking for help. Just covers a bunch of DIY sins and problems. 😆
Absolutely! I do that sometimes myself!
Wow! Hope the owner is able to use this video to get their money back.
I had an old Nissan truck that wasn't running well. The timing chain had skipped a tooth because the chain tensioner had come unbolted. Did the kit replacement and it ran great!
Thanks Ken, I never had the case off.
Not your typical Ken video, but still good stuff. Thanks for the info.
Yeah, some shop work. 👍
Hey Ken!!! 🍻
There was a moment in the video just for you. 😂
Dammit! I missed it and I watched the whole video!
They need a new coolant temperature sensor too. It's nice to know if the engine is overheating.
One thing at a time! 😄
I knew a guy who owned a transmission shop. He warned me not to buy a Suzuki Samurai because parts are almost impossible to find.
It can be difficult. I think it just depends on the part. There's a lot of aftermarket support for the Samauri, it has a pretty huge enthusiast following.
@@offroadhub.official I see a lot of Samurai owners who modify the heck out of the car. I think the car is so simple that might be easy, but I live in California so modifying is really difficult when it comes to the smog issue.
No update on the FJ ?? The suspense is to much.
It's coming... 😉
