Did you have to remove the steering wheel or was that done for better visibility for the camera? Great video.

I paid $200 for mine and I'm not going to spend $5,000 on parts when all it needs is a door and a fender and a bumper and maybe replace the top that's less than $1,000 where I'm at

Initially didnt appear it did anything but I drove around the block and tried it again and it worked like a champ! One question though - brakes feel mushy now (didnt before) - do you think they need bled because of this adjustment?

What a nightmare! I was thinking about buying a Solstice, but I changed my mind after seeing what is involved in changing the water pump. The engineer who designed this motor is definitely not a mechanic. Your video saved me from a future nightmare. Thanks!

I find it bizzare that the black links didn’t both go to the timing gears and the off color link didn’t go to the crank. Why would they make it that way?

Random question: where is the Satellite radio receiver? I have read that it's behind/above the rear passenger wheel well (for the Verts anyways), but I don't think I see it in your footage.

I think the engine just sat for a while and things are a little gummed up along with there being some junk sitting on the valves since the compression numbers increased with each test as things got moved around a bit. You might try cleaning the valves off and using some valve lapping compound before spending the time and money to send it to a machine shop. Also the staining and small pitting in the cylinder is probably not related to the compression issue as it seems to be sitting down low below where compression really begins to build (also it seemed to be at TDC during the test, negating any issue down in the cylinder). A good cleaning and some run time on the engine might clear up a lot of these issues Good luck with the build!

Thanks for the encouragement! A little inside info before the next episode, I sent the head off to a machine shop and had it tested. They said it was in great shape and held good compression. So I hope you’re right about the cylinder.

The SRT6 Crossfire is faster… I think it’s 13.0 compared to 13.5 1/4 miles times. But with a quick boost controller and exhaust it’ll be at the same speed

6:45. Literally every 2.0 solstice engine I've seen has this breather nipple broken off. I don't know what the deal is with that, but I suspect I gets broken off while trying to get to the air filter. Terrible design and trying to find a replacement intake tube is nearly impossible.

I HATE SCAMMERS AND COPART/IAA need to have stiffer warnings for sellers AND a fraud fine….! That’s a scam period! To purposely mislead is a scam! And the buyer should be able to get a % back or return it… and the seller should be banned from selling vehicles. If they implemented that simple rule it’ll clear up to 75% of the bad apples.

IAA is usually pretty good/transparent about it. Copart, based on our experience, has no real recourse against scammers. We’ve gotten scammed by Copart twice on two different cars.

Just bought a 2006 Solstice and I need to treat the convertible top. I will use the 303 as you demonstrated but what type of dye product did you use to get the top darker? I would love to apply this technique to get my top restored to its highest potential. Any feedback on this question would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much for your video contentt - Divine timing and connection! 😁

Excellent, excellent video! Great camera angles too. I have one of these cars and I always wanted to know what it looked like under the covers. What impresses me is how you remember where it all goes back cause this is your first time on this model, right? You're doing it professionally like you've done 50 of them. And seem to know what to look out for before you get to that step. Amazing!

Those two lower sprockets that are on the same chain as the water pump, what do they do? You were turning them quite easily so they can’t be a valve cam. I see one sprocket was marked intake and the other exhaust.
