I mean I could stuff a 5.3L LS4 or Volvo/Yamaha 4.4L V8, or Northstar 4.6L in there, since all have FWD transmissions already developed for them... But yea - severely inaccurate label, but is somewhat true, from the engine options available for that platform. Anything can be true, just gotta stretch it enoughDid they ever make a "big block" V8 that's 4.8L?
It's cute, but I don't think an overly accurate label, lol.
That's one thing I miss... Both my 2003 & 2008 Vibes had that. 2009 does not...
Ironically, I think I need to do this job on an '09 Vibe with 2.4.Ok, it will be leaking again in a year.
Just had a blue fel-pro gasket shrink and cause a massive oil leak after 3K.
Dealer gasket and amount of time needed to drink 2 beers.Ironically, I think I need to do this job on an '09 Vibe with 2.4.
What do you recommend? And what's reasonable labor time? ‐‐ note: not your labor time 'cause I've seen you list everything you do in an hour and I'm pretty sure you're on speed or meth
Copy, looking up my local Pontiac dealer now!
- 2AZ Vibe/Matrix is A LOT peppier than 1ZZ.Does the Vibe feel peppier with the 2AZ FE compared to the 1zz fe? Also, how’s the NVH in that Vibe compared to your prior Vibes?
My Corolla with the 1zz fe is louder than I’d like it to be - it’s got another 100k miles to get to the magical 299,999 mark.
The gen. 10 was the next replacement for my Corolla when rust kills it. But looks like that generation wasn’t quite as well bulletproof - I’m down a rabbit hole of 2ar fe head gasket threads on TN
I suggest you steer clear of the Robot Cantina YouTube channel as Jimbo throws around terms like "big block" and "hemi" when talking about Harbor Freight engines.Did they ever make a "big block" V8 that's 4.8L?
It's cute, but I don't think an overly accurate label, lol.
A man of culture, I see.
