Mike Wall – The bolts require a torque then a Degree turn. so i used the
torque wrench to tighten them all to torque spec then i used a “cheater”
(socket and ratchet with extension) so im able to make the turn.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts to 44 ft.lbs (60 N-m) in the order
shown in illustration. Use the J 36660-A torque angle meter in order to
rotate the cylinder head bolts an additional 95 degrees.

Does. Anyone know what should i do i f push rods weren’t marked as they
were taken out,or put in order. How should I proceed if i don’t know tbe
order in which to put them back in. I would appreciate any help.
Thank you so much for this I had to do 2 of theses motors ,Daughter and my
son’s lol this video was spot on ty so much. I only had 1 problem the gas
line was a bear to get set in right it leaked bad at first so anyone doing
this make sure that sucker seats right
I unfortunately have the 3.4 with the 2 motor mounts in the front, and as
well I have to take off the ac compressor to get the motor mount bracket
off. Is there anything extremely different from my motor and the one you
worked on that I should know about? Thanks
I’m doing one for the first time but its on a rendezvous…. Do u have to
put the car in time, also do have to use feeler gauge on the rocker arms or
u just tighten them down tight like a side first time any major pointers u
can give me…. Thanks in advance
10.14.14. Just a few suggestions, I use a Lisle 48300 pushrod removal tool
to remove the pushrods before I loosen & remove the rocker arm bolts &
rocker arms, if you don’t use the tool it’s imperative that the valves be
on their seats! Turn the crank to index each cylinders valves so they are
closed. ( Intake & Exhaust). You tube is replete with videos of 3100/3400
engines ticking or knocking after replacing the L.I.M. Gaskets or head
gaskets! The rocker arm bolt holes in the aluminum head strip out due to
the tension placed on the rocker arm bolt/thread,& aluminum threads in the
hole, junction. Also there are block drain plugs on both cylinder banks to
drain the heads & block of coolant. They are 9/16 hex head plugs. Replace
them with brass petcocks.
Mark D. – When you were taking off the exhaust pieces from the heads you
had broken off a couple bolts in the video. Just wondering how you got the
rest of the bolt out so that new ones could be used when putting things
back together?
Also, do the heads need to be shaved down in case they are warped from the
heat?
So after you torqued the head bolts why did you take your socket and wrench
and do it more? Wouldn’t it make more sense to use the torque wrench and do
it so you knew that they were done correctly?
Great video helped me a lot I do have one question.. On the heads it has
two of thos sleevs on the corners to help seat the gasket and head to the
block.. I’m working on a 2000 Monte Carlo. Problem is there are two more
sleeve things on each head black in color.. They are between the ones in
the corners And also just push in they came off of it but now before
putting it back together I can’t figure out how they sit or why they are
even there I didn’t see then in your video.. any suggestions? I’m at a loss
thanks
what do you torque the rocker bolts down to? i am working on a 01 Impala
3.4 and going by the book striiped out 1 of the rocker bolt holes already
possibly 2…please help..thks
Dude! Thanks so much for the video! I pretty much followed this step for
step and I’m basically done putting everything back together. Hopefully my
car starts when I turn the key. lol

You’re a real pro. I hope you get paid well for your services!

Hey bro, how many and wich gasket changed? Greetings and thanks.
So after you torqued the head bolts why did you take your socket and wrench
and do it more? Wouldn’t it make more sense to use the torque wrench and do
it so you knew that they were done correctly?
