Hey guys got a little side work if I want it wondering how long it would take to remove and replace a 2.2 in a 01 saturn I assume its about the same as a cobalt being its a l61. Need to know how long about its gonna take start to finish. I have been working on cars since young and should have all tools required for the job.
also if anyone knows of a good how to that im sure would help a lot
Thanks a bunch guys

PM Maven, he's your best bet on getting a true estimate.

If you're doing it by yourself on a motor you've never pulled before (even if you are handy), I would guess you're looking at a good 9-10 hours from start to finish. Really depends on how prepared you will be...

07cobaltguy just pulled his motor recently he never pulled his

i think he did his in like 5 hours? and he never did it before

LABEL EVERYTHING when you do

oh and swap..so add another 5

10 hours total i would think

thanks guys buddy who worked at the dealer he said 9.5 hours sounds about right to me
if the person still wants to do it should be some ok side money I need to pay for the air compressor and ref dryer I just bought.

If its automatic, its cake, I can do those in like 5hrs no problem, Saturn guys do 'em in like 4!!! If it takes more than 8 youre likely doing something wrong.

If its manual, add at least another 2 hrs, since youll need to drop frame. If its manual and you drop frame make sure you buy new frame mounting nuts and bolts, and new tie rod end nuts.
