The head gaskets on this 3.4 were blown, so after 20 hours of work and cut up hands, I finally got it back together, only to discover a coolant leak. LOL, so…

20 hours? and if you ever do antoher one dont remove the injectors ot fuel rails, remove that little cap off the end of the rail and pull the power steering pump straight up and wiggle it, yes sometimes it takes some force but you can get the pump past the fuel rails, also removing the engine mounts in front and pulling the engine foward makes life easyer, and a little pistion slap is no big deal, good video man! trust me try the power steering pump trick next time!!!!
please do another video of an oldsmobile silhouette
Well the Opel and Vauxhall Sintra has a 2.2 ecotec engines on their models, but why won’t they have them in our Ventures, Silhouettes, and Trans Sport (Montana).
it would be nice to have an inline four cylinder instead of a v6, for ease of repair.
Oh man, the Oldsmobile Silhouette. It was my first car. Fancy as fuck, all the goddamn features you could want and more, and drove great for a minivan of that size. You sir are very lucky
you would think it would have automatic climate control and a tach. That van has a very poor crash test rating.. get rid of it..
2:46 Nice sounding engine
nice van
2:11 nice cat
Hey bro my brother has the same van, any suggestions why would make it accelerate eratic when turn on and also some poping noise
Hey bro my mom has the same van, do u know why would it make accelerate and make pop noises..
I must say, great job man. Looks real good also…
I did that kind of work on the same engine and I pulled the noob move…had it all together and forgot about the o-ring in the fuel outflow line. big sadface.
I thought it was bad to rev the engine while cold. but I could be wrong
Pray to God you don’t ever have to do a Thermostat on one of those vans !
It would be nice to have a 3.8 V6 option in those minivans other than the 3.4 V6 on it.
amazing motors after you do that tho
nice pedo stash
god cavalier my parents had all it did was blow head gaskets..
These engines are well known for leaky lifters and cold piston slap.
Did you do a video for checking for the exhaust gases in the coolant? Also did you do a video showing the engine being dropped and replaced? Those would be quite cool to see.
do a 0-60 of this oldsmobile…
same engine my gramma had in her 95 cutlass supreme SL 4 door
what causes the engine to knock when cold cuz my truck does the same thing (1999 Chevy S10 pickup LS 156,000 miles)
Yes.
yes
please do another test drive of your ford truck please!!
Hey Daniel are you going to be making another video of the silverado soon?
How did you get to the back 3 spark plugs . I have a 03 chevy venture one of the back 3 bolts pulled out of the head I think . I am disabled and have been told to do the repair you must pull the engine.
Yes get the 1992 version!!! Back then my dad bought it brand new (4 banger stick shift) and it’s been our family car for almost 20 years. It’s never been washed during the winter time so only during the summer time. Paint was peeling a tiny bit, but unbelievably still stood out! When we sold the car this summer it had 100,1** miles, completely stock, changed the oil every 3k, and still runs like a champ! Hopefully this will help.

@2005buickallure Yup, 3100 and 3400 were known for their lower manifold gaskets. I don’t think I’ve seen one that needs it done or has had it done already.
Yes, get another Toyota Camry.
Its funny because i saw a van EXACTLY like this one at the Auction last week,same miles,same color,and same head gasket problem.Hmm i wonder if this is that car lol
also, I just did my intake manifold gasket on my ’02 GMC Sonoma, I feel your pain with gaskets!
These vans are as unsafe a shit…
Buy a Volvo
We have the pontiac version of this with about 230k on it, besides some overheating problems it has been quit reliable
liking the ‘stache
And yes, buy another Camry!
Those vans are deathtraps! At least it started up just fine, also I like being able to see the engine, almost all new vehicles have huge plastic covers over the engine!
first :D
