How do i find out what size engine when i just have a bare block

The alternator is grounded to the engine block. The lights and most of the accessories are grounded to the chassis. Since the engine and transmission are mounted on rubber shock mounts, they are isolated from the chassis. What is probably happening is that because you have no solid ground bonding strap from the engine block to the chassis, ground is being made thru some other, high-resistance path, such as , say a transmission cable linkage that connects from the column/floor shifter to the transmission. This causes a voltage drop and reduces voltage to the electrical items. This problem will eventually damage the voltage regulator and alternator as it must work harder to maintain proper output. Get a bonding strap from a bare metal point on the engine block to a bare metal point on the firewall ASAP.

what are you doing> , buying a bare block?

why not say what is in hand. (fit what? just tranny and mounts or what? , be legal or make EFI happy, or ? all other parts on engine?)

i did a www scan and in 1 second, bam the 4 banger

not the 4 liter.



2.5L gas engine not the diesel of same size.

so...

1984 to 2002 run (all year run lenght) not an answer.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_straight-4_engine



what does FIT mean.

to the mounts, the transmission, all will

pass smog

be legal, say in CALIF? (strict year codes there.... btw)

make EFI happy (fit)

just the block, short block or just a naked block. you never said./

key fact on bell housing

Instead of the standard AMC bell housing bolt pattern, AMC/Jeep engineers adopted the General Motors small V6 and four-cylinder bolt pattern



short answer, all years fit, the short block.



In 1986 the head went under a minor revision, the head bolts were increased from 7/16 to 1/2 inch.

id bet that be lowest year.

any with 1/2"head bolts





here is a nice page. google hits are free. huh?



http://engineguy.com/jeep-dodge-chrysler/2-5l-1.html?dir=desc&order=name



crank snout?

oil bypass

head bolt sizes

for sure the best answers are at all the top engine builders pages.

never on ebay. avoid them for facts.





you need a 530 block.

shop for that.

Either in the fuse block, or in the engine compartment fuse block! Interior fuse block, now bare with me here... is on one side of the dash, behind the kick panel, or behind the glove box!

not sure for holden in australia but here in the states a new gm short block will be stamped and we have to keep track of the new number at the dealer when its changed

Hello! The 1994 and later model Grand Am's are well known for radio interference...Technical Service Bulletins (TSB) have been written by GM without solution...If you have a multimeter...set it on the X1 ohm scale...Place one meter probe on the center of the negative battery cable and the other on bare metal of the chassis (a fender bolt)...Must read zero ohms...Move probe from chassis to engine block...Must read zero ohms...If you do not obtain readings close to zero ohms, run 8 gauge wire from negative battery post to bare metal on the firewall or body bolt...Also run a 8 gauge wire from chassis to bare metal on the engine block...If this does not correct the problem visit any audio shop and purchase a noise filter...Instructions are included...Guru...saailer

yes you can go for that ha bare engine, that would be better , audi wants to replace that cause it may cost you all most same to repair it, so they want to replace it with new bare engine.

trace the pipe back from the firewall to the pump

the engine block itself will have the motor size on it

Yes the bare blocks are the same.

Please rate this solution.
