So here's a silly question, was I supposed to drain the oil before taking off the timing cover? I was going to drain it but since this oh so helpful Haynes repair manual did not state that in there steps I decided that ill leave it in. Roughly 2 quarts of oil on the floor later..... the timing cover is off

But on the bright side the chocolate milk oil looks very delicious and there's antifreeze drops everywhere.

Quick update. Timing chain actually feels loose to the touch so that's def a problem but I might have dodged a bullet and tell me if I'm insane but I'm watching antifreeze not oil just antifreeze drip from the waterpump area.... I don't believe anything I've done would have loosened the water pump?!? To the step I'm at...
so I'm not sure should I do the headgaskets since I'm most of the way there? should I pop the heads anyway since I know I jumped two teeth trying to loosen the crankshaft pulley bolt to check the valves

I would of drained the oil and cooling system IMO! Don't need the excess fluids in your way!   Z 

I just wanted to confirm that the oil and coolant should be drained prior to the procedure. The first 5 min of the video will confirm this. Z

So while reassembly I broke the front turbo oil line in the engine. Barely even tightened it. So what are the chances of getting the little threaded piece out? Figure I'm going to be removing the bumper, ac, rad and hope for the best. This car just doesn't want to be on the road!!!

Whats the build date! Need to Confirm you have the correct parts due too So many supercesions especially for the 2010MY!  Z
