I don't know how th do any of this stuff. I'm not a mechanic. I'm taking this on apart pretty extensively, kinda for practice.

 

I recommend new water pump balance shaft chain kit and timing chain kit, it much easier out of the car!

Watch this a couple of times to familiarize yourself

 

Yes, I just didn't have the energy to add both chains and guides and tensioners.

 

I'm thinking I'm gonna do that. I'm tinkering with the old engine to get a good feel for it before I do any internal stuff to the new one. Anyone know where I can get torque specs for all these bolts I gotta take out?

EDIT: oldblue's links(above) should be your first choice

I'm bookmarking that second one, OB!!

 

Yessss! Y'all are awesome. Imma have this thing running soon. I'll update when I do

 

Looks like we need an update for our torque specs , a lot missing! But available!

 

Good news. Found the engine. Totaled 08 cobalt. The swap was perfect. Started right up. I made it a point to label everything as I took it apart. Thanks for the info!

 

Yippee!! Enjoy the ride! Check your coolant after a few days!
