Yup, but you may want to look at the timing chain/tensioner too.

Timing will be effected by a loose timing chain , the cam position sensors will tell the computer about it , doing what they are designed to do. Look at the timing chain, and the timing chain front guide, if either are worn out or broken, replace them not the messenger. And don’t start the engine, you could bend the valves or put a hole in a piston or 2


Today nothing with the HHR , it’s back home in the garage.

OK, hope that works out fine..

Got my filters changed & corrected tire PSI for colder weather.. Doh, forgot to check back brakes..
So 4 new tires just recently, oil & filter. Let's see, Oh yea, a good wash & wax before the weather stays cold.

Received my next set of Moog Problem Solver LCA's today
Ball joints wore out after 30,000 miles, thanks to good old AZ roads
Guess what I'm doing this weekend.
And no, it's not the laundry.

Made a phone holder. I had one that was attached to the air vent, but I hated in the winter that hot air was blasting and heating up my phone. My original intention was to put a ram mount ball in the center above the hazard button, but there was a clip there. So I went this route, which I prefer anyway since no damage at all was done to the car. Just used a mending plate from Home Depot and a ram ball/mount. Then bent the plate to fit and used a bolt from the radio to attach it. Works great

This morning, I started the BlackSwan and moved it out of the garage for a wash.
