Who are you calling a noob? 7000 RPM's on a 2.2 OHV with valve springs? Is that a joke? For one, ohv engines dont make power up there especially with no mods and revving that high is asking to break a pushrod. The ecotec does not have the same bolt pattern as the 2.2 OHV, they are flipped. The exhaust is on the firewall side on the ecotec and the exhaust is on the bumper side on the 2.2 ohv.
