Good Job . Thanks for the info . I have 2 of these with engine problems that need Gaskets at least . The motor Swap with your video doesnt look as bad as Gaskets . 😎

Not too bad, those rear bolts held us up for a while having to cut through the floors to get at the capture nuts.

I think I have the same issue since last night. Can you tell me roughly how much I should expect to pay for parts and labor for a similar repair to this?

[@SchnebsGarage]

$3-10 thousand depending on what engine you get your hands on. This one was a junkyard motor and they spent almost 3k on it before my work.

I have a buick enclave 2011 cxl can you tell me what engine is compatible to repair my car? My car is dead since 2017 🥲 and haven’t find a motor to swap it

[@SchnebsGarage]

The motor for this one came from a 2011 Acadia, the Lacrosse engine is the other one that will work. Thats about it for that 2 yr (I think) span. Nothing else will work to the best of my knowledge.

Awesome job; hope i find a great mecanic in PR for that same job

God bless you thats a Huge job! I have a 2012 Enclave getting a new transmission as I type this! UGH!

[@SchnebsGarage]

Sorry to hear that

I sure would like to know the history on that motor. I personally think most newer cars that do not have a radiator you can fill directly cause most of the failures because people can fill the fill tank all they want but if there is a leak in the system it won't fill the motor then it blows up and people wonder why...

[@SchnebsGarage]

My guess is lack of regular oil changes. But yes I also hate not being able to top up a radiator directly... makes no sense to me.
