Guys,
Finally wore out my Ecotec on my '07 HHR. Rings in #2 are shot but at 338,000 miles ,so what. Anyway ,I'm looking for a replacement engine and I was wondering about applications . My HHR has the Getrag 5 speed instead of the usual AT. Did GM use the same block for both or has my search become more difficult.
I intend to rebuild the original block but because it's the primary work bus, I need it running yesterday. This way I can take my time on the original block.

Thanks

 

I know there were some differences between years, not sure of betweens Trans types..

Hopefully this will help you once you have more answers...

I called my GM parts guy he said that he goes by the vin to order a replacement engine long or short block, ZZP have a complete new 2.2 for around 3 g's

 

That's awesome at 338,000 ... I am just over 200,000 just asking what oil are using ? Dino or syn? Any tips on maintence ? Happy motoring
