[@willischristmasshowwillis7362]

I am overhauling my granddaughter's 2008 Cobalt 2.2L, this video series was perfect!!!

[@diverseillusion767]

best 4 cylinder gm ever made

[@Jihadbearzwithgunz]

I prefer the old iron Duke 2.5

[@dahof2789]

... said no one ever

[@jarrettblakemore4676]

​@@dahof2789said him and me

[@DefundtheIRS1776]

This was a great rebuild series. I would like to see a Ford BOSS or coyote next. Thanks for good videos

[@JRobert111111]

Very informative and pleasant to watch the whole video! Somewhere along the line I missed what was initially wrong with this engine requiring a rebuild. Could you enlighten me please? Thanks much!

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks JRobert! So, this Cobalt's journey starts here... kzbin.info/www/bejne/eamndYxmq9Sia80 One of my earlier videos.

[@normanward9423]

Excellent video

[@luthers_janitorial1995]

Bought my 2.4 na cobalt SS new in 2006…220,000 miles and still running strong. Only problem is the oil cooler is starting to leak.

[@nathan_bruh.comedy9725]

Tbh it seems more complicated than it is as long as you know basic knowledge about engines you could tear one apart and put it back together with minimal problems with reassembly.

[@cameron3983]

Great video! 07 hhr has a ticking sound at 230k mi, might just rebuild for fun w a turbo

[@mynorm3342]

great instructional video.

[@lightskinanticsjiggin8129]

Nice !

[@thesysxploits09]

Hello, good evening, excellent video, I want to repair the engine of my ecotec car 2.2 Chevy Malibu 2005 classic, could you sell me the manual?

[@noahdomerese3034]

Video was very helpful. Did you reuse the connecting rod and main girdle bolts or did you replace them? I cannot find them anywhere

[@randellgribben9772]

this is the funniest video shop has seen..., thanks for the laughs.. sent this video to a few other shops so they can watch it🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@saintjhon4294]

How about giving constructive criticism instead of trying to seem like you're better. Loser.

[@kevinmartin1679]

Say you a cocky pos without saying it

[@danman9017]

tks

[@monfoxtrot3123]

mine (Z22SE) is leaking some oil and it's gathering just behind the oil filter, there is a crevice there. I wonder if it's the valve gasket. But it seems bone dry.

[@jeesjm27]

Gracias .....gracias ...gracias

[@bobbyboucher65]

Love the video!! it's going to help so much! you keep referring to "the manual" for all the torque specs and info. What one do you use and where do you get it?

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Thanks! The manual I use is from Identifix.

[@geraldflint819]

The handle is the piece you used on the first part of removing

[@John-yo9jz]

Im sure many mechanics circle the bolthole

[@johnbrooks2122]

How do you know that the tensioner goes in that groove when you're screwing it in

[@jonathanamberson7912]

Where did you purchase the main crankshaft girdle bolts?

[@xilliam8373]

what bolts did u use for what block holes

[@LUVNSHMEV]

Awesome video! What rebuild kit did you end up using? And you said you put new connecting rods in? Where did you get those? I know there is a TSB for connecting rods bending in these (destroyed my engine) I was just curious if there is a brand you recommend for avoiding that in the future

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

Everything came from Rockauto. The kit was mostly Enginetech. I can't recommend this kit though. The head gasket didn't seal and the injector o-rings were too small. I would recommend Mahle for metal components and Fel-Pro for gaskets if it's available.

[@JCGible]

What kit did you get? 🙂

[@LUVNSHMEV]

I was following the book and noticed it looks like you let the tensioner spring out instead of resetting it. I've noticed issues when I set it and try to to suggest the book does and set it. Would you just purchase it in sprung?

[@geraldflint819]

Just for your information the handle is the other part you use First it slides down over it

[@MustangKevin69]

How much dose that motor weigh with out head on it doing one for my wife that the timmer chain guide broke in a million parts and a bolt was found on the bottom where the oil pain meets that 2nd main crank case trying to see if we could lift it out by hand no life thinking its about 350 400lbs at most

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

That's a good question, I don't know the answer to. I think bending over the car to lift something that heavy would be very difficult. A cheap engine hoist costs around $100 and would save your back.

[@johnbrooks2122]

Do u think it's possible to change 1 rod bearing without taking the crankcase off ???got spun bearing

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

You can replace the rod bearings by removing the oil pan. It's relatively simple to do. Make sure the crankshaft journal is still good before putting on the new bearings or it will have all been for nothing. A damaged crankshaft would need to be replaced.

[@randellgribben9772]

he's a pro!!!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@daleclark1479]

Wrong you cant get to the rod caps without removing the crankcase

[@Braapcity]

You didn't detail cam shaft installation and cam caps. This video is mediocre at best

[@ValleyMobileAutomotive]

8:58 hope this is what you're looking for.

[@randellgribben9772]

we watched it our shop...lots of laughs, watching this ' pro ' offering advice, and showing how to build this Ecotec engine🤣🤣🤣

[@dahof2789]

... let me call you a wahhhmublance! Big baby troll.
