Want to brag on a 2008 equinox
My daughter bought a 2008 equinox new, after 12 years and 248000 miles it developed a serious miss
So she bought a new one last month, I got the 08 into my shop, and diagnosed a bad valve Pulled the heads, #3 had a hole burnt thru valve, and the head was cracked at #3 between the valves My surprise was the shape of the cylinder Walls after 248000 Mile's cylinder Walls showed no noticeable wear were smooth as a new sleeve So I found a junk yard head off a later model 3400, and sent both heads to machine shop, and had them trued, and valle job done Got it back together today she runs as good as new I did find out that the newer head used a 10mm rocker bolt, where the 08 used a 8mm rocker bilt, so back to the junk yard and picked up the rockers I left behind thinking I did not need them since the old ones were fine So now I am going to see how long I can get the little 3.4 to run I guess calling it little is a misnomer since the new ones come now with a 1.5 |
