Time is for complete job...not sure about bolts, but most likely torque to yield.

This is how you feel when you're done:  I hate timing belts on FWD cars.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

So what is an appropriate/safe solvent for cleaning up the cams and valleys, etc.? I'll post a pic later but I wonder if they ever changed the oil. Like even once. It's literally crusty around the head bolts, etc.
The good news is that when I drained it,it stank, but there was no metal flakes or noticeable particulates at all. Just thin and stinky.
Paul, also I think it was maybe still a little low on oil, wonder if that affected pressure. Removing the oil pan looks like a minor PITA. I'm thinking to clean up the top side good, put in some fresh oil along with Sea Foam or that degunk stuff if it's a more effective detergent, and run that through a bit and see where the pressure is at. I can pull the real time pressure with ODBII reader as long as the aveo spits it out.
The seal under the valve cover wasn't very good and there was a ton of oil down above plugs 1 and 4.

Just run seafoam through it and call it good. Or let it disappear, the whole car that is.

The problem you might run into, as bad as that thing is sludgged up, is the debris that is freed up by Seafoam, clogs up the oil pick-up screen. But it is worth a try. If it works YAY !. If not, still got to pull the pan..
We stopped selling engine oil flushes on sludge filled motors in our industry,
because we ate a few engine jobs.

i'd fill it up with seafoam and tranny fluid. Like a full 5 quarts of tranny fluid.

Looks like the coolant reservoir looks to be cracked....I forgot to grab my pressure tester from the shop...

Yep. Gonna have to pull the pan. Put in some fresh oil, oil flush, and sea form. The warning indicator went off for a second or two, then came back on. so the pickup must be blocked. I'll drain and strain the otherwise brand new oil. Pull the plan and clear.
Not sure there's any problem with the HG or warped head actually. But it seems pretty clear that it is oozing oil through head between 2/3 exhaust ports. . .
Which means oil has been dripping down through the cat, so that's probably toast . . .
