those the timing chain comes along with the replacement of the pistol and heads for the oil consumption. ---

Is this a statement or a question . . . ?! It sounds like it could be a question, but it ends with a period 🤔 ---

When the rings and pistons were replaced on my 2013 Equinox for oil consumption at least one of the timing chains was replaced. I believe the tech was unable to set the base timing after the rings and pistons were installed. He had to tear the engine down a second time to install the chain(s). Ed B. ---

I don’t know the answer, but I can tell there’s a question here. To the grammarians out there, the “those” seems to mean “does” and I don’t think it’s an unreasonable assumption that “pistol” means “piston.” I don’t want to sound like a kindergarten teacher, but if you can’t ask anything that contributes to answering the question, please don’t say anything. @PamelaThompson to clarify - are you asking if all these parts should be changed at the same time to fix an oil consumption problem?
