Reman or used engine. You can rebuild the lower end of the engine, but it seems like an engine that has cancer. That is, shortly after doing the lower end, the upper starts with problems. Just from what I have seen. Would appreciate any info anyone else has.
The best bet is usually a used engine for cost effectivness and down time concerns. Not much rebuilding happening at the dealership level, even for warranty repairs.
If it's new, you may have to cut it to fit.
You don't need to remove the fan to install it, just slide it in between the fan and the radiator. It will be a very tight fit, just go slow. Once it's in, you will need to install the 4 bolts on the top, and 2 on the bottom.
Hey Connie==Get a manual from a parts store on your car and it will tell you how. You may need to get a manual from MOTORLIT.COM. Good luck Joe
First buy a new thermostat, water pump and timing belt. Unsnap timing belt cover and remove top outside portion. Take off top belt pulley which is actually the power steering pump pulley. Note aligning mark on top timing belt pulley which matches a notch in the back of the timing belt cover. Also notice the bottom belt pulley has a notch which aligns with a protruding point on the belt cover next to the bolt where the back cover is attached. Remove the bottom belt pulley (not for the timing belt but the accessories) Try to align the top timing belt pulley which will align the notch on the accessory pulley before removing the pulley. Once the top pulley is removed you can remove the timing belt being careful to not move either base where the pulleys were attached which would mess up the timing. Remove the power steering pump (turn small nut on end of pipe into pump housing) and remove hose from other pump line. Now you can move the cover enough to remove the water line housing containing the thermostat. This should be replaced now since it is so much trouble to replace separately that everything should be done at the same time. The thermostat gasket has a slot to fit over both sides of the metal flange. The water pump is held by 3 Allen wrench bolts (metric good luck) and is also the timing belt tensioner. Install new pump and timing belt making sure marks and notches are correct and belt is tight enough using the turning of the water pump. Reassemble everything else.
Always check your repair monuel before using any tip to see if it will hurt your electrical or ignition system. Increase the rpm until the noise is heard then disable one fuel injector at a time. When the noise quits you have found the cylinder with the problem. If your engine is carb you have to pull one spark plug wire at a time to determine the cylinder. If the noise does not quit the problem is in the top end of the motor or the belt or acces. system. One last hint, cracked automatic flywheels will sound just like a rod bearing.
It is the fuse for your Fan.
74 ground-pounding horsepower with the 1.6 liter engine.
There are no timing marks on the water pump.the only timing marks are on the crankshaft and camshaft gears.And if you're working on a quad-four engine as I suspect you are,you will need to line up the holes in the cam sprockets with the holes in the block and insert pins to hold them in place.The correct size drill bits will work good for this if you don't have the special GM tool.
its been awhile all i know it runs the same as a Oldsmobile same motor it run conter clock wise
Electric? or Mechanical? For the cost of the pump, if I was in doubt, I'd simply replace it. If that doesn't fix your problem, then you have a spare fuel pump. If that's more money than you want to spend, and it's an electric pump, remove the "out" side fitting, and have someone turn the key on. Should be a strong stream of gas. If it's mechanical, unbolt it, work the lever with your hand. A shot pump will have little or no resistance.
It is most likely located on the top of the fuel tank (it's an electric pump). There should be an access plate inside the vehicle located on the floor board under the back seat, otherwise you will need to drop the fuel tank to get at it.
Either your emergency brake is hanging up or your wheel cylinder is leaking fluid and needs replaced if drum brakes and if disc brakes the caliper could be bad.
It is under the dash left side, lower the knee shield by removing the large screw on each side to see it.
Just because you hear the fuel pump running does not mean it is pumping. You could also have a clogged fuel filter. Have the fuel pressure checked. In some cars like a '90 Lemans the fuel pump is connected to another metal tube on the fuel pump mount, by a small rubber tube about 1" long. Over time the rubber breaks down. The fuel pump will work, but little or no fuel will go to the engine. Pull pump assembly and replace the tube for a couple of pennies.
I'm not sure why you'd want to put a small block Chevy in that Pontiac. But some things to keep in mind....most of the engine wiring is on the opposite side. You'll need to change engine mounts on the frame and you'll also have to make sure to get a Chevy transmission as the B.O.P.C trannys won't bolt to a Chevy.
The original engine was 2.3 liters or 140 cubic inches. It also occasionally came with the 2.5 liter "iron duke" engine at 151 cubic inches. Most of the specifications are the same as the Chevy Vega of that era.
I found weight for a gto they are: coupe = 3,705 hardtop=3720 ac=+112lbs muncie =-24.6 lbs Hope this helps...
Le Mans is located in France near the Sarthe River. It is about two hours away from Paris.
