Here's a link to my Aurora I just uploaded it yesterday some reason people are having a hard time finding it. https://youtu.be/Ksygdo7Cx8A

How many miles were on this one?

Blake Bias says:

is 4.0 less prone to problems compared to the 4.6?

Very smart informative video I have a 96 Aurora i need to know everything about this engine

Randy Stoffel says:

if you eliminate your go aheads and went aheads your video would be half as long and less annoying

I have an 03 aurora that I'm replacing the rack and pinion on, and your video has helped me a lot with this engine. However I'm having some trouble with dropping the subframe, I removed the 6 bolts plus a motor mount bolt in the front and the frame still seems to be snagged , what else could be holding it up?

I have a 97 Oldsmobile Aurora with only 80k on it and I'm going to get the head gasket rebuilt in a couple weeks I was wondering if you think I should get the timing chain replaced even though it doesn't really need it right now? Or is that just that standard part of head gasket replacement on these?

Ok the dohc v8 is a bitch to work on i bet this a common issue with these motors HEADGASKET

Joshua Higgins says:

I've been looking and I can't find a diagram for a 2001 Oldsmobile intrigue 3.5 l v6. I'm wanting to replace the head. I know about on the Northstar engines the head bolt problem. The head bolts being too short and in 2005 just put longer head bolts in fix the head gasket problem. I'm wondering if the same thing applies to the v6. Northstar V8 Aurora engine from the 90s and I'm hoping you'll know what I'm talking about. Also what would be the best head gasket set for that 3.5 l

Hello from Poland I love my 4.6 Northstar after engine refurbishment 🙂

Blue Moon says:

Are these engines known for head gasket issues? How about the newer Aurora say 2003?

Hello From France!

This is an excellent video! I think this is the best step by step video for any Cadillac, Oldsmobile Northstar engine disassembly and reassembly. Everything is done correctly and the mechanic knows what he's doing and is not sloppy. Very refreshing to see something done correctly and clean which is the way how I work on my cars as did my father and grandfather. Nice!

What does a job like this end up costing the customer? This is scaring me away from buying an Aurora.

This car should have just been sent to the junkyard.
