Any 96, 97, 98, or 99 3400 SFI engine will fit. This includes from a 99 Grand Am or Alero or other GM vehicle that uses the 3400. The 2000 and newer versions are not a direct fit; I believe because of sensor differences.
what are the torque specs on a 3.4 s.f.i
The timing sensor on a 2004 Pontiac Grand Am with a V-6 3400 SFI engine is located at the rear of the engine, near the top of the engine block, just below the intake manifold. It is typically mounted on the engine block and may be accessed from under the vehicle or through the engine bay. To replace or inspect it, you may need to remove some components for better access.

Yes. But if you're going through all the trouble, why settle for a 3100 SFI when you can swap in a 3400 SFI? Fits like a glove! Go to 60degreev6.com for more info.
To change the valve cover gasket on a 1999 Alero with a 3400 SFI engine, first ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Remove any components obstructing access, such as the air intake and ignition coils. Unbolt the valve cover, gently lift it off, clean the surfaces, and replace the old gasket with a new one, ensuring proper alignment. Reassemble by reversing the steps, tightening the bolts to the manufacturer’s specifications, and reconnecting the battery.
For the 3400 SFI engine, the recommended coolant is a 50/50 mix of ethylene glycol-based antifreeze and distilled water. It's important to use a coolant that meets the specifications of GM's Dex-Cool, which is formulated for use in many General Motors vehicles. Always ensure the coolant is mixed properly to prevent engine overheating and corrosion.
I had to remove the air intake to get to it.Easy then.
