3.4 Chevy Impala

[WiskyBadger]

Did a gasket job on the Impala today. Was losing some antifreeze. Put in Felpro gas all the way around. Also did plugs and wires and a new Goodyear Gatorback serpentine belt. Pictures were taken with my phone and I couldn't figure out how to make them bigger.

Sometimes the gasket for those engines moves before you get everything tightened down. If it moved it will be sticking out some.

It might be a good ides to also do the idler, because the tensioner, the pivot, and the bearings in the idle pulley wear out over time. A new belt with a poor idler is a belt that will not last very long.

Going to resurrect this post, I finally figured out how to actually post pictures

These pictures are actually from when I did all the gaskets. Probably 2 years ago now. I just finally figured out how to actually put the pictures up. I know Im kind of lame. It had probably 65k on it at this time? We bought it with 56k on it and I am guessing it had bulk oil, it had a AC Delco filter when I bought it. Since then I have used QSUD 3 times in it QSGB once, Valvoline a couple times and PYB once now. I have no doubt it still looks this good inside.
