i dunno. i talked to john and he said he would do it. he only charged me $600 to pull my old motor, break it down, rebuild and reinstall the motor in my srt. so im pretty sure just to remove and reinstall a new motor in the cobalt will be a bit cheaper. $700 is kinda steep for me right now

jeez, i wouldnt have expected the motors to be that much lol thanks

sadly no. i already asked. a couple peeps in my club with 240s wanted to go to but the people throwing the meet wanted to keep it strictly SRTs this meet. sorry bro

 

Cuz a cobalt engine takes alot more work to get out. Have to lower the frame. The srt4 has nothing under the engine. Couple hours anyone can have an srt engine out the cobalt is at least full day or 2.
Be carfull wat l61 u buy theres a few different ones out there.

Ill take ur blown l61 if ur just gona toss it.

 

I might have my car up here pretty soon. What goes on up here for car meets, etc...?

 

As in bay area or north.... we ain't got nothing going atm.

 

you referrin as to take it out from the bottom of the car? when my other friend built my motor, he was able to take it out from the top. he said **** taking it out from the bottom lol. and yea, i know about the different motors. im lookin for a 06 without the EGR stuff.

 

north. I will be a bit before I get my car here though.

 

picked me up a spare head that just needs porting, cams and gears. me so happy lol

 

For ur 2.2?

U get ur srt4 back?

 

no, for the srt lol. im not doing **** else to the cobalt. just fix it and DD it...if i can find a motor

 

Happy 4th yall lets get a meet going in a couple weeks.

 

last thursday i went to pick up my car....still not running. it ran for about 15 minutes so it can get to operating temp and so we can find any leaks. car run good and we found 1 little fuel leak by my FPR. kill the car, fix the leak, put everything back on. by the time we get done, its about 20 minutes, i go to start the car, it runs for 1 minute and dies and wont turn back on. cranks but wont fire. builder does a compression test, cylinders 2-4 have 195-200 psi, cylinder 1 has 0. he pulls off the head and i guess 1 valve on the intake for cyl 1 isnt seating right. so tomorrow hes coming to pick up the semi built head to use. hopefully that fixes any problems and i can have my car back next week

 

Did you do a leak down test compression doesn't mean ****.

 

i didnt do nothin, ive been at home lol.

my friend came by to pick up the new head today but my other friend said he has another head that i can pick up so im gonna get that one when i get some spare cash and drop it off to you to port. i just need my car back like right now

 

Cool cool im gona be buildin my 2.4 lsj soon im just laggin on finishing the head. Might start assembling today

 

get crackin. when i get the head done up and a new turbo, i want to run someone lol

 

Im only gona be looking at 420-450 @ 15-16 psi and cams

 

Heres some teasers.
The block, head, oil pan everything will be powder coated black.











I even wiped up a set on these lol

Hey, how are you all doing?

I'm brand new to the forum and I've had my SS for about 6 months now.
I joined the forum in hopes of meeting other Cobalt SS owners in the Bay Area and to gain as much knowledge about my car as possible.

Any get-togethers happening anytime soon?
I'd love to see other people's cars.
