Or order up new parts and they're here the next day or sooner.
Not that bad of an engine to work on and I like the fact that I can run down to the local parts store or the Pick-a-Part and usually find anything I need. Aftermarket offers a gasket which works well.Ĭompared to some of the other "nightmare engines" out there, the problems are relatively benign and after all you're talking about 20-year-old rigs! Exhaust manifold broken studs & leaks, generally thought to be due to the metal-on-metal joint. Head gasket leaks are less common but known. You just need to re-torque the bolts periodically.
The intakes are also rather notorious for having the bolts loosen up, then you get water in the oil with resultant bearing problems. Parts are common to your garden-variety S-10 2.8 (except for the block and clutch kit).Ĭommon problem areas were oil leaks from valve covers, distributor O-ring or the RTV-sealed intake manifold ends. Engine parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive compared to most "furrin" rigs. Responds very well to Old School speed parts (cam, exhaust, intake, bigger TBI, etc). It's a nice, smooth engine with a lot of Hot-Rod potential. If I recall, around 125hp and 150 ft-lbs torque. Also found in the Fiero, they have a FWD bellhousing configuration (starter on driver's side in a RWD rig like ours) but with cast-iron heads.
