Great video, thanks for showing the internals. My Eco has 264k only thing I did was replace the timing chain with a kit, back at 257k. Old chain and gears, rubbing shoes all looked in great shape. My Eco runs great and is super quiet, should make 300k easily.
Torque yielding bolts stretch as they are tightened to give equal clamping force. It compensates for the friction of turning the bolt; not so perfect threads and other things that kept the bolt from turning freely. All bolts stretch when tighten. The amount of the degrees controls the stretch of the bolt to get a more consistent clamping force. This is a good video.
i have an ecotec 2.2l in my Saturn, engine runs great, but there is a lot of blow by, is it possible to remove crank and pistons from the bottom and change the rings?
the only way to remove the pistons is from the top with the head off. you also have to remove the oil pan to get to the rod bolts. as long as there's room to get the pan off, should be able to do the hole thing in the car. the timing chaine is more difficult to install that way, but still doable.
@@onewhocollects6781 yep I watched your other video and saw you pull them out - it's been a couple of years since I have done one - but I'm about to get refreshed - I just bought one a couple of days ago that has jumped time and bent a bunch of valves - no cylinder will hold any air at tdc
say i have 180k on the engine and it uses oil like a sub but the plugs are clean so maybe i have leaks? i have it down for timeing chain repair now can you tell me if the valve seals are any issue? if so i can pull the head and just do seals? i want to pull the pistons and rod bearings and replace them not the mains as i have the engine in the car. but rock auto does not show rod bolts they do not usually have parts that you reuse. besides in all my builds i have never had to get rod bolts i always reuse them.
If you're already going that far, I would remove the head and replace the valve seals. The worse part of the job is removing/installing the timing chain anyway. I found new rod bolts at ZZ performance.com and they're official GM parts.

2.4?

Very good video!
Can you tell us what the GM part numbers are for those bolt sets??? I'm redoing a crank in mine and need those part numbers.... thank you...
Could you tell me the bolt size for the outer cam cap. The one for the power steering bolts up too.
What year classic Chev is in the foreground? (I recognize those SS hubcaps anywhere, all of my Chevs had them and they look sweet).
It's a '65 Impala SS.

At the shop we call butyl , monkey shiite 🤓
I was thinking you had to get the head bolts in before you put the cams in ??? Does the cam cover up some head bolt holes???
No. the bolts can go in anytime.

Where do you get the manual from? I'm interested in... Thx
Auto Zone. Thay had it on the shelf.
