Here we have part 3 of the 2001 GMC Sonoma Engine replacement videos. Many of you have asked about what's wrong with this engine. In this video we find out as much as we're going to find out about that very question as I end up pulling one of the connecting rod bearings along with one of the main bearings. You'll have to watch the video to see how that turned out. Here's some useful links for you.

this was exactly what I needed to see. Went to get a new catalytic convertor and was told, cracked exhaust manifold, head gasket and a bunch other crap. Started into it and got stuck on taking some things off. Couldn't find all of the bolts for intake and fuel rail. Now I can replace the sensors, because most of the stuff will be off to get to them. Great video. Thanks.
The whole taking pictures/filming the disassembly of anything is vital almost scripture to some one like me. I almost always forget one thing or another how something goes back together or figuring out what went where. Excellent reference material.
I really love your videos so much that I watch them for all kinds of cars and repairs, not just ones relevant to the cars and projects I'm doing.
Eric is a busy busy man, back in december he was 3 months behind on responding to emails and I don't think he even had 100,000 subscribers then, now he's up to like 230,000. So don't take it personally, but the man probably receives thousands of questions daily.
The two nut method, love it. That tip alone was worth my internet bill this month!
Hey Eric, I enjoy your videos. I'm 64, don't wrench a lot anymore, but occasionally. You are the first one in all my years that explained why not to use chrome sockets on impact guns. Think I'll get a set now. Thanks bud ;), Rog
I love Eric's puns and little jokes. Makes for not only a great learning experience, but also very entertaining. Keep the awesome videos coming!
Maaaaan I can watch this stuff all day! Looking forward to part 4!
really 5 dislikes?! Is there just people that troll UA-cam disliking everything?! I love what you are doing Eric keep it up. and my condolences for your friend Ryan.
My last project was struts and shocks on my camaro, and the upper control arm ball joint, one side had a crown nut that came off with little to no trouble, but putting it back on, it was rotating the stud. My dad and I had to use a tap and file to clean and sharpen the threads on the stud and inside the nut. Taps are a very useful tool!!
I'm never going to do an engine swap myself, but I still watched this series of videos, and I'm glad I did because I learned the 2 nut method to remove studs! Thanks Eric!
If there's such thing as love through UA-cam I've been hit! You're an awesome guy and I admire the honesty and pride you put into your work! We need more people with your integrity here in Cali!
The Metric vs Imperial war drives me crazy.
Great commentary as you work along. Thank you Eric.
Dunno if Eric can get to each comment, but here's what I'd check: battery connections. If they're loose/corroded they can shut everything down. Clean them up, put them back on, shoot a little WD40 over them to help keep the air/moisture from corroding them up again.
I wonder if you could install a knock sensor on the front door? I can never hear when people are here.
Hey Charles,Shep here.I wasn't gonna bring this up but,since your a GM fan here goes.When I installed my 1st 2.2 in my S10 it failed after 6000k! (cam bearings misaligned from oil feed holes causing it to lose ALL oil pressure!) However, GM replaced the engine and installed it for me for the sake of good will.I'm a retired tech trained on imports(Asian)and in 30 years I never saw anything like that!But I guess out of a million plus engines they'r entitled to 1 failure.Read my other comments.
The epic journey continues. Please enjoy Part 3!

Great series! Love your vids, always looking forward to the next :-D Thanks for your har work.
The white electronics heatsink compound (normally a paste, used between the CPU/transistor/chip and the heatsink to help cool the device) is made of zinc oxide dust and silicon oil. I use that on fasteners that experience a lot of heat. The oil burns off leaving the powder behind. Even if the zinc oxide gets hot enough to melt (much higher than an engine can get) the zinc "glue" is much easier to break loose than rust.
I have the exact same truck except it's a 2002 and I was planning on rebuilding my engine this summer so this video is excellent! I know it's 4 years old but thanks for the video!
I really liked that trick you used to remove the studs!!! Good tip!
I really like how detailed this video was. It wasn't just a wam-bam-thank-you-mam type of crap most UA-cam videos are...this is a REAL video! Great job E
Allways enjoy your vids Eric :-), and this one has special meaning.
He would have been so happy you are doing the job.
Great video ! I like how you don't rush.
Eric you are making such a brilliant videos i love watching it.here in UK we also use metric and imperial bolts together on one car it is real pain .
one of the only things that helps brighten my week up Eric! I am going away for 3 weeks to England/France so i might miss some of your videos :( keep up the good work mate!
It depends on what plastics are used but commonly used plastics have melting points between 70 and 260 C (158 to 500 F) and at the higher end of that range your coolant would boil anyways. I am sure the plastics in this engine has a higher melting point than the temperature at which the engine boils.
In terms of what's painful to hold on to, at around and beyond 45 C (113 F) you don't feel temperature rise anymore, instead you feel pain and the rate of that pain increases with higher temperature
Cylinder head block-off plate on the back of head is for water neck fitment on transverse mount applications like Cavalier.
Not all GMs are junk, good buddy. I happen to own one and it's not heading to the junkyard on my watch. :) And Yes, I'm a GM enthusiast!
Thank you for making so many videos man, i really appreciate it
I know what you mean about them flywheel teeth being sharp eric. I got a nice good inch and a half long scar on my arm from one. ratchet slipped while i was loosening the torque converter bolts on a 350 chevy turbo, it was basically a new flywheel also. had only been used barely
Awesome videos brother. This will help me tremendously when I get to my ChevyS10. I hope to start mine next summer. I wanted to start this summer, but as they say crap happens lol. You rock man. Appreciate your time, and all your efforts putting these together.
Tip for any DIY'er buy a box of zip lock sandwich bags, a roll of masking tape, and maybe some post it notes or a small note pad. store and label the fasteners in the bags and you can even tape it to the accessories you take off ( I.E. water pump etc...). you can label the wires to where they plug in, most of them have their own connector that you cant mix up except ignition wires. Also with the note pad draw where fasteners go and how wiring harnesses/belts/hoses are routed.
Finally got to see the parts washer in action! :)
I'm really liking this series -- extremely thorough. Looking forward to the next part.
Eric has a video on his parts washer, the solvent he used and a modification he made to it to assist in efficient draining. Search the ETCG channel...
what would be a biggest joke if it was just a starter went bad and sounded like the engine seized.. lol anyways, nice video of how its done.. ive done some ford engine swap before and i tell you it was a pain since lots of those studs seized.. i'm glad this gm engine you are working with went smoothly..
that "sealer" (rtv) you don't like as a gasket, are sometimes made that way from the dealer.
a lot of times when I order new oil/trans pans from the dealer they say to use rtv, that there is no gasket available.
Eric you make that job look so easy!
yes the cavaliers have the same thing there and it was a different size hole but i believe 98 was the last year they had egr
I never knew how studs were removed #MindBlown!
Eric, please do a video on 100% Electric Vehicles. How will they affect technicians in the future and your thoughts about them. Tesla Model S for instance.
cant wait for "Part 43!"
i've never heard a mechanic speak so neatly.
Also, what's with the old fashioned cork gasket on the oil pan? I buggered up my oil pan on my Astro changing engine mounts and using a jack and 2x4s (big mistake). I found I could jack up the engine with a "tab" on the block where a 2X4 fits upright between the oil filter adapter and exhaust, and the other side carefully centered the board on a starter bolt. Got new GM oil pan and gasket and it is heavy rubber with metal inside; much more substantial than the 60s cork stuff. Interesting.
Make sure to inspect the crank and cam, if possible, when doing engine changes. Check the profile of the reluctor that the pick up sensor will sense. Make sure the notches have the same shape and the same number of cutaways at the same degree of crank and cam rotation, normally the crank will be the issue when an engine that is 1 or 2 years different. With a NO START later & checked with an oscilloscope the wave pattern will be different after some digging for known good waveforms, BEWARE guys.
I typed that too soon. Later in the video he pulls it off, and it's carboned/black inside so it's probably for an EGR. Especially given the proximity to the exhaust manifold.
Hope they get a dressing kit for it. That valve cover could use some TLC.
Just got one yesterday.
If you dont have a thread chaser you can get a bolt of the same size and pitch and cut 2 lines down it either side and rin it through.
The plate on the back is an EGR passage. My 98 has the old EGR setup.
Parts washer! Did you get it recently, Eric? Also - what solvent does it use?
Another great video, thank you!
I understand the money situation. I said that in my comment. What I'm saying is, I'd almost rather go to a pawnshop and sell something valuable in exchange for having a new TO bearing. That is how I'd treat the issue. I hate doing jobs half ass or not to perfection. If it isn't perfect and ready to go for years to come, IT ISN'T DONE.
LOVE your channel Eric!! I've been a fan for a year now. Question - how do you keep your cameras clean while working?? I notice that in a lot of your videos you're holding the camera with one hand and working with another. Thanks and keep up the great work dude!!
I didn't reuse stock bolts, I pulled new ones out of my magic bolt box. Those were free.
Eric, you should pull all 4 rod caps. They can vary greatly in the amount of damage.
I use chrome sockets on my impact wrench all the time, never had an issue..
as you know many cars run with same engine model this cap that you don't know what it is for is used only to cover that hole ,that space will be used on a cavalier E.G.R system
Not going to happen. They brought the truck to me with an engine and said to install the engine. As you can see by the rod bearings, they were pretty beat up. That's enough for me.
I had no idea cork gaskets were still used. Oh well, hopefully it seals for the rest of the new engines life.
The cover on the back of the cylinder head looks similar to the one on my Toyota 22re which has coolant in it but the gasket type looks like exhaust on yours. Not sure of the purpose.
amazing thing the gasket sealer. I have never had a slipped gasket with that stuff..
Hey Eric,dumb question. Why didn't you get a new crate engine from GM? When I priced reman engines 2 years ago they started at $1600. My new engine from Chevy was $1800. And I didn't have to swap over anything except for the fuel rail and injectors.(Mine is a 2000 S10 and the new engine was set up for '03-'04)Best of all,no core, and I have a bunch of spare parts. Anyway, very informative. Thanx for the video. Keep your hands dirty and your soul clean. God bless. Shep.
I know this is 8 years old but I have a 98 s10 2.2L 5 speed manual as well. I’ve found an engine for $3200 but I wondering if you new a good reliable site to get one cheaper. Thanks in advance Eric. Love the videos 💜
I have same questions😢
Know nothing about cars but I couldnt help but watch..
Same engine you got there if you remove the pistons an install new pistons with rings an bearing. Do it matter which order they go back in? Piston an rods.
I've been a mechanic for almost thirty years, it's rough on the body. Power tools help a lot, but at the end of the day my back, shoulders, and hands are pretty sore.
Hi Eric! I'm a big fan of your channel and your personality! If you by any chance have couple minutes please write down where you buying repair manuals in PDF format online becose I really need to buy one for my Mazda. I remember you mentioned it in one of your video but I did not make a note.
Thank you!!
Wow, that two nut method for removing studs is perfect!
its an older style egr valve design.the 98 Sonoma has a big ass egr steel plate and the sensor that bots on to it.
Can't wait for part 10 where you are long gone from this world.
I'm loving these videos Eric but you surely aren't going to make uscwait another week?????
MMMMMM, nice fresh new engine.
Could be or a wheel bearing! Does it do it on left turns only? Does it do it when going straight? If so then it probably is your right wheel bearing.
Hey Eric,
I wanted to ask you about the part where you are cleaning the oil pan... Would the solvent have eaten up "the stuff" during cleaning instead of wire brushing it off, or at the very least losen it up? If anyone else wants to chime in, I'd be happy too.
So even if the TO bearing is in good condition and doesn't look or feel like it's going to break it's going to be worth throwing money at just because there is a risk it will fail down the road which would be another painful repair?
I wish i could achieve perfection in everything i do but sometimes you have to settle for the alternatives because otherwise you will have a few "perfect" things and be without what you actually need to have to live a good life. I value quality of life over items.
i never saw that way of getting studs out that will be helpfull in the future
You make me tired and sore watching all of these multiple projects to do the main big project. I just did a power steering pump and gear box on my Astro over two days and my wrists and elbows hurt so bad I can't stand it even after lots of ibuprofen. I don't know how you do it, other than you must not have the joint issues I do. But I'm doing my best to "stay dirty"!
Really enjoying the video's. As I told you before I am a fan for life. Keep up the awesome work you do!
Thanks Eric, you are a great man
Can't wait to see part 4!
The plastic oil drive retainer clip isn't even necessary. It is probably there for assembly streamlining.
great job and very informative way how to it,thanks...
another great video eric keep up the good work
Pretty much any vehicle with a manual trans. can be pop started as long as you have the key.
The only time I've ever seen/heard of a magnet in an oil pan is on the OEM drain plug....lol.
honestly if you're replacing a clutch, you should just buy a clutch kit that comes with the throwout bearing. It's such an expensive job to replace a clutch and an engine for that matter, so if you're going to replace the clutch you're really better off just doing everything at once.
Can you push-start a stick shift with electronic fuel injection, or is it only for older vehicles with carburetors?
eric the cay guy needs to buy an engine stand. harbor freight has them cheap and they make swaping engines much easier.
this has nothing to do with your video, but I was wondering if you could a video on overdrive. there's just not that many cool videos about the subject. thanks!
13:47 the plate stops coolant from coming out the other end of the cylinder head.
that plate on back of the head is actually for easo of clenaing when overhauling the head
Hi! John. I really interested in engine stand from harbor freight, please could you give more detail about this stand? thank you very much for your help!
lets hope he does a more detailed inspection to find out what went wrong with it later
love these detailed engine videos
Thanx Eric
I liked that one, too! Great idea.
Eric, back when those trucks were built, did the make some with cast iron blocks, and some with aluminum?
Most awesome video yet.
cant wait for the next one!!!
My 2000 Pontiac Grand Am has a little magnet on the tip of the engine oil drain plug. Why it's there i'll never know, because I never see any metal on it
That's exactly what it is for if you ever see metal on it you engine is dieing
The SAE police heard you were using the wrong size socket for those flywheel bolts @14:40
I'm tired of all the people telling Eric to get a lift as if he didn't know they existed. I don't think he's doing these videos to teach professional mechanics how to do these tasks, he's showing everyday non trained people that they too can work on cars without all the expensive equipment. If he started to use a lift, I would not know if I could do the job he was doing since I can't own a lift.
