Timing chain replacement 4.6

[Wafu]

Hi, Can you change the timing chains on a 4.6 2009 with engine in situ ?

Don't know if there is enough clearance to get the lower chain cover off the crank, but you can get a clue from the video below. Looks like it would be a lot easier out of the car given what you have to remove anyway.

It is possible to change the timings chain on a 2015 5.0 Genesis with the engine still in the car. However you will have to support the engine and transmission while dropping the sub-frame to so that can remove the upper oil pan.

Do not remove the lower front timing like the guy in the video. You must remove the upper oil pan to install the lower timing cover back on the engine with RTV. You can also damage the metal gasket which seal the top of lower the timing cover that is part of the head-gasket as well if you try to force it out like in the video.

Here is how I got my 2015 5.0 engine support while I swap out my cracked lower timing cover. I assume the 4.6 models are similar.
