Banman Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Greetings, Possess a 2011 Chevrolet Captiva LTZ 2.0 diesel. The vehicle overheated and ceased operation. The head gasket was damaged and replaced. The cylinder head was re-phased prior to the installation of a new gasket. Once done the automobile has fully lost power. The vehicle is incapable of ascending a slope. What could be the issue and what is the solution? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seconsu Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 How do you re-phase a cylinder head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banman Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 What happens when the cylinder head reaches elevated temperatures? In my small expertise, I assume the surface gets uneven and it does not sit level in the engine because its aluminium. The head is machined to provide a flat surface; this is my interpretation of re-phasing. I am uncertain whether I used the correct term.

Seconsu Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Is it operating just on three cylinders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banman Posted November 21 Author Share Posted November 21 What would be the solution for it to operate on all fours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltarb Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 Are there any error codes displayed? Such a power loss indicates the presence of an underlying issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxck Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I apologise for interrupting, but it seems like a stuck or bent valve may be the issue. Please check the compression across all cylinders; if that is OK, then examine the power supply to the injector. In the event of a significant malfunction, the ECU may deactivate the injector to prevent excessive fuel delivery to the cylinder, which might result in engine seizure.
