Timing Cover Sign In
2001 Pontiac Grand Prix
130,000
3.1 6 cyl

External coolant leak. Needs new timing cover.
Is this common? How long does it take to repair this?

Re: Timing Cover Sign In
A bad cover by itself is unusual but the timing cover gasket leaking is not. The problem is after it's driven with the leak for too long, the cover gets all pitted and has to be replaced also.

Re: Timing Cover Sign In
It's not very common, but it does happen.

Book time is 5.9 hrs. DIY time is 2 days unless something goes wrong. Suggest you get some service literature before tacking this job yourself, so you know what your getting into and you'll know what tools you'll need.

Re: Timing Cover Sign In
Ended up to be the water pump and the timing cover. Also flushed the engine, bled the coolant system and changed the oil. Hope that does it for a while.
