So for the rocket arms do I tighten with a wrench or tork

Nice job son!

I would much rather them damn exhaust shield bolts break than round off. They have quickly became a nightmare lmaoo

Great job. TY for sharing. New Sub

Awesome video. Very good step by step coverage. You cover every bolt and how to get it out. Excellent job. Thanks!

any wisdom on Dex-Cool? I know this video is old but, ive read online that the formula was supposed to have been corrected due to a class action lawsuit against GM.

Man I have to give it to you. I didn't feel comfortable at all doing mine. But I watched this video over and over for a week. Then I took a piece of paper and literally wrote all the important stuff down. 2pages. But thanks to you. It was no problem. Took me 3days tho. But not to bad in the middle of January. Thanks again.

Is the camera person on fucking crack

I got everything apart in a few hours. Only exshuast and heads left. I'll tell you what. My back is done. Lol. Not to bad tho. I mean I live in the north so there's more salt then snow.

That big nut for the fuel line that was tapped on. Was that reverse thread.

Great video, learned alot. Yet to have to do this on my car, but I can't wait for the day to come 💪🫡

Thanks for teaching i have a 2005 Pontiac grand am same color and same problem this videos helps me alot

It doesn’t show on taking off the coil pack!! On the six bolts ( 3 on each side ) I had used an oxygen and acetylene torch with very small flame, just enough to heat the thread and nut to turn a little red And put the deep socket on fast!! Had no problem!! (Exhaust pipe on drivers side!

How long is it going to take me to pull a 3.4 liter motor out of a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero?

I owned a 2003 Grand Am SE-1 3.4L 3400 V6 I had the Engine Completely Rebuilt With High Performance parts pushing out 307 Hp. I still have and I am currently using The Engine it's been in 2 vehicles now so far. I'm thinking about putting the engine into a 1987 Firebird hoping to convert it to a RWD not sure how that is going to turn out.

Best video I have seen on this , and I have watched many 👍

This video may be years old but it helped me gain the confidence to fix my blown head gasket myself. I do a lot of maintenance on my own (brakes and brake lines, wheel bearings, spark plugs, oil changes of course) but never have I ever taken apart any bit of an engine. The teardown was very thorough and walked me through every step. I wish that there was a thorough reassembly, but he was so thorough on the teardown that i just went in reverse and found all of the important torque specs online. A few broken bolts and stripped threads later, but with 171k miles she's back up and running like a clock. It did take me significantly longer than expected to finish this job but I was making sure to take my time, kudos to this guy for doing it in a day. Definitely learned a lot in this process, I hope to never have to repair rocker arm threads again though, that was not fun.

Great video on head gasket repair. I am going to for my first time ever tear the top end of an engine apart. 2005 white grand am 3400. I was a complete nervous wreck until I watched this greatly detailed video. I do have a life time of experience with auto mechanics but only exterior parts. Thanks to this video I now have the confidence and motivation to tackle this project.

How do I reach the rear 6 exhaust bolts on the back

Well done.Thanks for teaching.

Lots of bolts so it would be a great video to show the bolts as they are removed from what and state the size and a good pic of each bolt to make it easier to identify and replace very quickly. That would be the best breakdown video showing exact locations in slow motion on the engine for replacing the various parts such as the egr, vaccum lines so they can be easily identified by those that forget to remember them.

I just changed my head gasket but the motor is behaving erratically and I can't explain why

Whats the torque on the rocker arms

How did u fix the exhaust bolts

This vid helped so much, thanks so much for doing this🙏🏼

These engines 3400 go in the under frame then the body is sit down on top the engine. There is not much space to remove all the ign and other hoses. Save you some time pull the engine.

You sound like bob ross. "You aint gunna hurt nothing" lol. Your car was so compliant with you unlike mine

Bro, I have to say this has been one of the best videos I've seen dismantling to the head gasket.str8 to the point and very well detailed.much appreciated on this.

I need help with my Pontiac montana oil pump, I can do it without taking the engine out?

Whatcha sniffing

So is 2 passes to tighting the head bolts

Yes sir make more God bless you brother

You’re awesome thank you for your help

Can you show me how to tork down the heads

Hold off here,..you disconnect the negative terminal not the positive .

Same Engine... Engine oil in coolant reservoir? How did that happen and what might be the problem?

Hi!. Thanks for the video it's very helpful. I have a 3.1 MPFI buick century and it's very similar to this engine

If I had a mechanic working on my chevy venture and he chose to bend the coolant pipe bracket away from the stud with channel lock pliers, that would really piss me off! WTF?

Can anyone help I need to find the the grommet for the throttle body on a 3.4l impala that he showed in another video I know this video is old and this is a long shot

You are a lifesaver thank you so much for all these videos

Bro. Thank you. God bless you and your family!!!!

Great diy instruction video for the 3.4 v6. Doing the head gaskets on my gfs 04 pontiac grand am. Already replaced water pump, thermostat, ran multiple flushes on it but it still smoked and had milky oil. I wish all videos were filmed like this, I think it's a lost art.

hola. puedo instalar un motor 3.4 en un chevy malibu 2001?.

Good job fam. I'm doing the front head gasket tomorrow.. Thx for the video👍

Bro, I just saved my 2004 Pontiac Grand am sc/t coupe thanks to your video. I replaced the headgaskets, and basically every part in the motor, at 290,000kms it should be good for another 100k.

I'm in Connecticut who can help ?! Thanks 👍

Your instructions have been spot on. I just pulled my heads and am having them shaved now. Thank you so much.

Thank you for this video I did my head gaskets running excelente ☝️😇
