I have a 2010 HHR SS that I has to replace engine due to a slight engine leak from a connector rod going thru bottom of engine.
So I have ordered a LDK long block from Z Z Performance to replace it. I want to do it correctly by making sure everything is put back correctly.
Can anyone give me some tips that might help from their experiences with this and all the necessary torque specs needed.

 

Impressive!

 

Shop repair manuals are your friend.

I had posted it here, but the OP didn't seem to need it that bad.

 

I copied your post into the torque how-to, donbrew, good info!

 

I'm impressed myself. How may miles were on it? What were you boosting?

 

Yep. I'm impressed because the rod exited through the bottom.

 

That'll bring out the caution everytime. Quite a feat, I've not seen an LNF do that.

 

I was trying to figure how the wrist got all the way down there.

Ain't it great when you fulfill a request like that in an hour. And the requester never even returns to look at it, much less a thank you.

 

Thank you very much for all the help. this will be a great help for now and future use.
ok so next question to lift or drop engine
