Buick Timing Chain DISASTER?! ('14 Encore 1.4L Turbo P0016-RATTLE)
This Beached Whale Baby Buick was towed in from an hour away after a DIY mechanic threw in the towel trying to fix the engine for his neighbor.
The Buick was throwing a P0016-Intake Camshaft-Crankshaft CORRELATION and had a bad engine RATTLE.
The mechanic discovered that one of the PLASTIC TIMING GUIDES was MISSING!!
During his diagnosis, the chain actually JUMPED on the sprockets, so he disabled the starter and towed it to PHAD.
Let's peel back the onion and see what CARNAGE we find inside this 1.4L Ecotech Turbo.
Book time for replacing the chain is almost 8 HOURS and special tools are required.
Can we get the Buick back on the road without breaking the bank?
