Does the engine head require replacement required due to loose timing belt replacement?
My 2007 Cadillac STS (48K miles with all warranty performed by dealer on schedule)
engine light came on and I took it to the dealer for inquiry. The dealer replaced the
timing belt under warranty but told me that the rear cam shaft bearings were worn but
would not be covered under warranty so I would have to pay for the replacement of the
engine head. Question: wouldn't the rear cam shaft bearing wear be a direct result of
a loose timing belt?
There is no way that they could know that without disassembling the top of the engine. At 48,000 miles on a Cadillac you should have no issues . I think they are trying to stick it to you. What codes were pulled when they checked it?
2008 CADILLAC STS 53000 MILES car will not pass inspection because of timing chain codes P0008, P0009 P0016 P0017 P0018 WHAT CAN I DO?
2005 Cadillac STS My camshaft Phaser broken timing chain rattling, ofcourse passenger side that gets no air valve cover replace both phasers,as a precaution from 2.8 liter Cadillac CTS 2008 junkyard find,leaks oil from oil filter housing ordered housing gasket ,oil pressure sensor, Crankshaft camshaft sensors bank 2 out of wack don't care speed limit is 30mph, cheap beater for $1000 that looks good,but shot bent valve stems,shot door locks,shot head gaskets 200,000 miles still going
The chain didn't break just 3 teeth on the camshaft Phaser re-used everything,timed the engine started it up in timing position 2 release some compression by having sparkplugs unplugged unhoused,makes starting easier
