Anyone know the book time for a timing chain and radiator replacement on a 2011 Kia Sorento?

I’m trying to find out the book time and details for replacing the timing chain and radiator on a 2011 Kia Sorento. Anyone got experience with this or know where I can find the ALLdata sheets?

I had mine done recently. The radiator replacement took about 2.6 hours. For the timing chain, it was 7.6 hours on the left side and 7.2 on the right. Not sure if that’s a total of 14.8 or if there’s some overlap. Anyone know?

That’s helpful. Do you have any links to guides or procedures?

@Cindie
Yeah, I found these online: Radiator Procedure, Timing Chain Part 1, and Part 2. Hope that helps.

For anyone else needing this info, the water pump labor is around 3.5 hours, and the thermostat is about 1.3 hours. Got the procedures if anyone needs them.

Mind sharing the links for those too?

Sure, here you go: Water Pump Procedure and Thermostat Procedure.

I’ve done a timing chain replacement on a Sorento before. It’s a pretty long job. Make sure to have all the tools ready, especially if you’re doing both sides.

Yeah, seems like a big project. Appreciate the heads-up.

Anyone know if there’s a big difference in labor time between replacing just one side of the timing chain vs both?

Not sure, but I think some tasks overlap, so it might not be double the time. Anyone else got more info?
