Chevy Engines. Generation 111 Small Block Motors.

March 18th, 2010

The Generation III Vortec Chevy Engines with 5300cc, or more commonly called the LM7/LM4/L59/L33, is a V8 truck engine. It is a longer stroke version of the Vortec 4800 and replaced the 5700 L31. The L59 denotes a flexible fuel version, while the LM7 was the standard version of the engine.

The LM7 Vortec 5300 was introduced in 1999, and can be considered the “General Motors Corporation” version of the Generation III 5.3 liter V8’s.

Nissan Engines. The Sr Series

March 17th, 2010

Nissan engines are logically and understandably named. First is the two letter family name, then the engine capacity in deciliters and finally the engine features are listed. So using the classic example the SR20DET engine. SR is the family name, 20 stands for 2 liters, then D for Dual Overhead Camshafts, E for Electronic Fuel Injection and T for Turbocharged.

D-Dual Overhead Camshafts or Direct Injection

E-Electronic Fuel Injection

HR-High Revolution

I-Fuel Injected at Throttle Body

R-Supercharged

S-Electronically Controlled Carburetor

T-Turbocharged

TT-Twin Turbocharged

V-Variable Valve Timing

When it comes to the high performance versions there are four families you will be likely to deal with. The Inline four SR Family, the inline six RB family, the V6 VG family and the V6 VQ Engines.

This four cylinder SR20DET engine first arrived in the Bluebird. But once hhoked up to the rear wheel drive S13 Silvia Chassis, history was made. Naturally Aspirated (N/A) and turbocharged versions appeared, but it was the turbocharged SR20DET that became the sweetheart of the tuning workshops. Ranging from the original Red Top (named for the color of the engine cover) the SR20DET slowly grew in power as it changed to the Black Top, and then was updated for the S14 and S15 versions of the Silvia.

The SR engines also appeared in the front wheel drive Pulsars and in the Pulsar GTI-R.

Without serious modifications to the internals, the SR20DET engines are capable of 300 plus horsepower with just bolt on components. This makes them an extremely potent, light weight engine and made them very popular for engine swaps.

It is easy to see why the SR20DET is such a popular used engine. We offer our customers the lowest mileage used engines for sale at the best prices. this makes our engines more valuable in the long-run. We have been building value and confidence into our products giving our customers the best products on the market.

A Partial General Motors Engine Guide.

March 16th, 2010

Starting with the four cylinder rebuilt Chevrolet engines, to the full line of General Motors engines here is a fairly complete list of engines from the Iron duke 4 cylinder engine to the Vortec 5000 L30 is a V8 truck engine. Lets get started..

Four Cylinders
2200 (2.2L)
The Vortec 2200 is a OHV straight-4 truck engine. It is entirely different from the Iron Duke. The 2200 uses an iron block and aluminum 2-valve pushrod cylinder head. Output is 120 hp. Displacement is 2.2 L (2189 cc). 2200s were built in Tonawanda, New York.

2800 (2.8L)
The Vortec 2800, or LK5, is a DOHC 2.8 L straight-4 in the GM Atlas engine family. It produces 175 hp and 185 ft·lb of torque. The Vortec 2800 is standard equipment on the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. It is mated to either a 5-speed manual transmission built by A/W, or a GM 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
2900 (2.9L)

The Vortec 2900, or LLV, is a DOHC 2.9 L straight-4 in the GM Atlas engine family. Displacement is increased from the Vortec 2800 it replaces to produce 185 hp. First used in the 2007 Chevy Colorado, 2007 GMC Canyon, and 2007 Isuzu i-290.

Five cylinders
3500 (3.5L)
The Vortec 3500, or L52, is a DOHC 3.5 L straight-5 in the GM Atlas engine family. It produces 220 hp. The Vortec 3500 is optional on Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon regular and extended cab trucks. It is standard on the Crew Cab Colorado/Canyon, and the Hummer H3.

3700 (3.7L)
The Vortec 3700, or LLR, is a DOHC 3.7 L straight-5 in the GM Atlas engine family. Introduced in 2007, the engine has increased in displacement from 3.5 L in the Vortec 3500 to 3.7 L, producing 242 hp. This engine is only offered with the HydraMatic 4L60e automatic transmission in the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Hummer H3, and Isuzu i-370 trucks.

Six cylinders
4200 (4.2L Straight 6)
The Vortec 4200, or Atlas LL8, is a 4.2 L straight-6 in the GM Atlas engine family. It has four valves per cylinder and is a double-overhead cam (DOHC) design. Introduced in 2002 for the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Oldsmobile Bravada, the engine is also in use in the Buick Rainier, Saab 9-7, and the Isuzu Ascender. The Vortec I6 engine was on the Ward’s 10 Best Engines list every year since its introduction in 2002 through 2005.

4300 (4.3L)
The Vortec 4300 is a 90° V6 truck engine, replacing the Chevrolet 250 in light trucks and 200/229 90 degree V6s in passenger cars (the 200 and 229 were known as the V6-90, both were shortened versions of the Small Block Chevrolet). It is based on the 350 (5.7 L) Chevrolet small-block V8.

The engine first appeared in 1985 with the throttle-body injected LB4 in passenger cars (light trucks and vans had carburetors until 1987). In 1991, the limited-edition GMC Cyclone featured a 280 hp and 360 ft·lb turbocharged/intercooled LB4 with the first use of multi-port fuel injection on a Vortec V6.

The central-port injected L35 (Vin ‘W’) debuted in 1992 (where the cylinder block was modified – with the incorporation of a balance shaft), with better breathing for 200 hp. Another CPI engine, the LF6, joined the rest in 1996, while the LB4 was retired after 1998. In 2002, GM introduced a new multi-port injected LU3 engine, and a LG3 variant appeared soon after. This engines origins date back to 1955, when the original Chevy small-block V-8 was introduced.

All Vortec 4300s use a cast iron block and heads and 101.60 mm (4.000″) bore and 88.39 mm (3.48″) stroke (bore and stroke dimensions the same as a 350). Connecting rods still measure 5.7″ although the rod journal diameter is 2.25″. 1992-present cylinder blocks used a different timing cover since these engines used a balance shaft (some 1992 production cylinder blocks for the LB4 with TBI induction used the ‘traditional’ front timing chain cover from the small block Chevrolet). They are OHV engines with two valves per cylinder and are produced in Tonawanda, New York and Romulus, Michigan. Power output of the new LU3/LG3 engines is 180-200 hp (134-150 kW) and 245-260 ft·lb (332-353 N·m).
4300 applications:

* 1985-2005 Chevrolet Astro/GMC Safari
* 1991-1993 GMC Syclone/GMC Typhoon
* 1988-1995 Chevrolet Blazer/GMC Jimmy

* 1992–1993 GMC Typhoon

Eight Cylinder
4800 (4.8L)

- LR4

The Vortec 4800 LR4 is a Generation III small block V8 truck engine. Displacement is 4.8 L. It is the smallest of the Generation III Vortec truck engines and was the replacement for the 5.0 L 5000 L30. The LR4 produces 270-295 hp. LR4s are manufactured at St. Catharines, Ontario and Romulus, Michigan.

* 1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra
* 1999-2006 Chevrolet Tahoe/GMC Yukon

-LY2
The Vortec 4800 LY2 is a Generation IV small block V8 truck engine. Like its LR4 predecessor, it gets its displacement from a 96.01 mm bore and 83 mm stroke. The smallest member of the Generation IV Vortec engine family, it is unique in that it is the only member of that family that does not feature either variable valve timing or Active Fuel Management. It is rated at 295 hp (220 kW) and 305 ft·lb (414 N·m) of torque for all applications.
LY2 applications:

Mercedes Benz OM617 Engines for Sale.

March 15th, 2010

Mercedes Benz Diesel engines for sale

The OM617 engine family was a straight-5 Diesel automobile engine from Mercedes-Benz used in the 1970s and 1980s. With some Mercedes-Benz 300D/300SD diesel engines already exceeding 500,000 miles, it’s considered to be one of the most reliable engines ever produced. The OM617.912 was a 3.0 L (3005 cc) engine.

The engines came in The W114 chassis which used the straight-6 engines and were sold under the more common “230″, “250″, and “280″ model names.

Although it only produced a puny 65 horsepower with top speeds hardly exceeding 85 miles per hour, it was enough to be touted as the fastest diesel car at that time with a 4-cylinder, 2.4 liter engine. By 1976, it featured the demise of production of the W115 chassis with the migration to the W123 chassis. This also highlighted the release of the more powerful version that is the 88-hp Mercedes Benz 300D.

Some diehard owners still drive their diesel Mercedes, partly because when taken care of, the car lasts far longer than most, and the 5 cylinder diesel gets about 32 to 35 miles per gallon of diesel fuel. Diehard owners tend to fix their mighty cars. That is part of the philosophy of owning a diesel car like this. Many people purchased these cars knowing they would make repairs as needs and drive the car far longer than most.

When I was kid my cheapskate cousin had a 1959 Mercedes, a 1.9L 190D 50hp version of the diesel with the new unibody W 121 chassis. It was hard pressed to go 70 MPH, yet it got almost 50 miles per gallon of diesel. Of course, at that point in my life, a big block Chevy was more interesting.

Diesel engines are not new, we are employing them more and more in our modern vehicles. Mercedes had a good head start on everyone else. That being the case, plenty of modern vehicles are using diesel power now, partly because they get better fuel mileage than the comparable gasoline engine and partly because diesel engines are more environmentally friendly.

For all of your diesel engines wants and information call GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664 and speak with a representative about diesel engines for sale and how we can outfit you with the engine that is in your best interest at an affordable price.

Out of Control Toyota Prius, it’s not the engines fault.

March 11th, 2010

We have been watching and reading the unbelievable story on runaway Toyota Prius models. I saw the actual interview on this video last night on TV. We know it is not actually the car engines fault. Here is the article that goes along with it.
On Monday James Sikes, seen at left, drove his Toyota Prius down a southern California highway when he experienced something now familiar to many Toyota owners: his car was accelerating past his intended speed and wouldn’t slow down.

That’s when Sikes grabbed his phone dialed 911. (Listen to his call below left) While trying to keep the car under control and hold the phone to his ear, the Prius sped up to 94 miles per hour. Eventually the emergency dispatcher sent a California Highway Patrol car to him, and officers instructed him how to reduce his speed before they accelerated in front of him and — driving bumper-to-bumper — guided the car to a complete stop.

Just two weeks before the alarming incident, Sikes had brought his Prius into a dealership, recall notice in hand, to have a technician look under the hood, but the

If you own a Toyota Prius, be careful. I think this could really affect Toyota sales and customer confidence. Watching footage of out of control Prius’s and listening to the stories is a compelling argument to park the car until the issue is really solved.

This is not a Car Engine Tip….

March 10th, 2010

Don't get the Blues from broken windshield wipers..

Although we sell engines and other related automotive parts, I have an unrelated winter time tip for you. Since we just spent 411.00 dollars on the repair, you may be interested in what happened and why. My moms car is a 1999 Saturn SL-2. She lives in Maryland where the terrible snow storm hit and crippled the city last month.

One of the problems with snow and ice building up on your cars windows is that the ice encapsulates you windshield wiper blades in an icicle to the windshield. When you go outside after a snow storm or ice storm and your car is iced over, make enough time to warm the car up for 20 minutes before you go out to go where you have to go. Although this is somewhat of a gas waster it beats a 411.00 dollar repair bill.

What she did is very common and causes lots of people the same frustrating and expensive situation my mom had. She wanted to go somewhere, so she got in the car and started it, turned on the wipers to knock the snow off the windshield and it did. She warmed up the car and went about her business.

When she got home the windshield wipers would not turn off by the switch. She is a smart women, but not about cars. she shut the car down and the wipers stopped. But they did not go down into the stopped position, they were stopped in the middle of a stroke. She went around the front of the car and with all of her 105 or so pounds, she forced the wiper blades down to the locked position.

That broke the wiper motor. You know they don’t use steel gears in wiper motore anymore. Now they use plastic gears. What may have been a simple repair, turned into an expensive issue. I think you see what I’m getting at. By the by, some cars have windshield warmers in them now, use them if you have them.

The hood and dashboard had to be removed to install a new wiper motor assembly. Ouch! Use this tip wisely and replace your wiper blades twice a year. Oh, if you are interested in an engine for sale, call GotEngines.com @ 1-87-268-0664. If you like please peruse our blog for more solid money saving tips.

Car Engines need some Spring Cleaning too.

March 9th, 2010

Sweep away winter engine problems

As the winter breaks and spring time comes, this is the most opportune time to do some service on your car, truck, RV, or whatever you drive. The winter this year was particularly bad, even in Florida where I live it got close to 30 degrees. That’s like 40 below zero for you northerners! Cold weather is murder on car engines.

After a winter with ice and snow and extreme cold for extended periods, I suggest you take your car to your favorite mechanic for some spring time servicing. In Florida we have more heat related issues to deal with and obviously no snow. What I am proposing is not going to be expensive, in fact it is cheap when you consider how much more quality life your car will enjoy, and that is good news to you.

1. Have your car detailed by a professional. A professional car detail-er will clean in places most folks never think of. Between fender wells and body seems. this flushes out salt and other corrosives that rust the body. The exterior of your car is the least important part of a detail.
2. Have your engine oil and filter changed and make sure the chassis is greased. Grease squeezes out any corrosive liquids in the joints. Engine oil builds up condensation in it during the cold months. The car does not get hot enough to burn the moisture out of it in extreme cold.
3. Have the cooling system examined.
4. Spray WD-40 or the equivalent on all of your hinges, door locks and any rubber components you can see. Note: This is a top secret way to make your car last forever.
5. Have the front end and alignment checked. The potholes in the roads, and ice can cause suspension safety issues and throw a front end out of alignment, which cause excessive tire wear. While it is on the alignment rack, ask the mechanic to spray the control arm bushings and body bushings with WD-40.
6. Make sure the alignment company checks your tires too. Just in case.
7. Now you can wax your car.

If anyone thinks of something else pertinent, please leave it in the comment area. This has been a successful recipe for me for over 40 years. Where do think I got the idea? I was born in Washington DC and lived in Maryland for my first 26 years. I also lived in Wyoming for a year, where only real men live. So cold is not a stranger to me.

This should set you up for a safe and reliable year of driving. don’t forget that the radiator needs to be checked before it gets cold again. Don’t worry, I’ll remind you at the right time. GotEngines.com @ 1-877-268-0664

Oil Consumption On 1983-86 Toyota 2.0L 2SFE Engines

March 8th, 2010

Toyota 2SFE Engines

When I was asked the question about oil consumption the other day concerning these engines, I remembered a piece of information I received concerning this issue with Toyota engines.

It has been reported that oil consumption on 1983-86 Toyota 2.0L 2SFE Camry engines can be excessive under certain conditions. This complaint may be made either before and after a valve job or a complete engine rebuild. The cause of this condition may be from ineffective valve stem seals or piston rings.

Toyota has reduced the amount of oil ring end rail gap clearance to almost 1/2 of the prior specification. The new specification is posted as .006-.016 (.15-.40 mm). The piston ring set for the engine was also modified to accommodate the new specification. It is available under Part #13011-74021 for a standard size bore.

The valve guide seals were also modified to improve sealing abilities. They are available with Part #90913-02075 for both intake and exhaust valves. Oil may be seeping around the valve stem seals, either entering the combustion process or the hot exhaust.

Another possible area to consider, which is also the most common source of oil consumption, is the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system. This system takes crankcase vapors and distributes those vapors into the induction system. Excessive amounts of engine oil in the valve cover area will allow additional oily vapors to enter into the intake manifold. Those vapors are then burned through the combustion process. Also, a restricted vacuum line or an unsealed crankcase will render the PCV system ineffective.

This information is pertinent because every rebuilt Toyota 2SFE engines we sell has these updates built into the engine. Our goal is to sell you a top quality rebuilt engine at an affordable price. If you call us now, we can quote you a price that will suit your budget. Call GotEngines.com at 1-877-268-0664 and speak to one of our representatives.

Navistar VT 365 Power Stroke Diesel Engine

March 7th, 2010

Ford 6L diesel engines VT365

The Navistar VT 365, also sold as the Ford Power Stroke, is a Diesel V8 engine. It is used as the Power Stroke in Ford’s F-350 Series Super Duty and under the Navistar name in the International MXT trucks. The 6.0 L Power Stroke turbodiesel was on the Ward’s 10 Best Engines list for 2003.

It is a 32-valve pushrod V8. Bore is 3.74 in (95 mm) and stroke is 4.13 in (105 mm). Output was 325 hp (242 kW) at 3300 rpm and 560 ftÂ·lbf (759 Nm) at 2000 rpm, but as of 2005 that was increased to 570 ftÂ·lbf at 2000 rpm.

The 6.0 L VT365 replaced the 7.3 L T444E, also built by Navistar in Indianapolis, but has not been as successful. A high number of warranty claims, some 50,000,000 in two years, caused Ford to discontinue their contract with Navistar to build a Diesel V6 and paying about $70,000,000 to Navistar as compensation for ending the contract.

Ford considered Navistar rival, Cummins, before deciding to design this new Diesel V6, now known as the DT17, in-house.

Although the engines have been plagued by problems, Ford still sells 250,000 or more each year at a $5,300 premium over the gasoline engine options in its Super Duty trucks. The problems include leaky fuel injectors, oil leaks, and broken turbochargers. There have been 77 technical service bulletins related to the engine since its introduction.

Customers who own vehicles with diesel engines are the most difficult customers to satisfy. Many of them use their vehicles as work trucks or are a part of a fleet service. Diesel power plants are the choice since they are supposed to be more reliable, and last longer with less maintenance, although I argue that a diesel needs plenty of specialized maintenance itself.

Are you in the market for a 6.0L VT365 diesel engine for sale, our rebuilt VT365 diesel engines are rebuilt with value in mind. Our research and development department has eliminated the reasons for failure. Our warranty proves it. Call us now at 1-877-268-0664. GotEngines.com.

How Foreign and Domestic Engines Fuel Systems Operate

March 7th, 2010

Automotive Fuel Injection Systems

Engine Sensors provide the correct amount of fuel for every operating condition, the car engines engine control unit (ECU) has to monitor a huge number of input sensors. Here are just a few:

* Mass airflow sensor
* Oxygen sensor(s)
* Throttle position sensor
* Coolant temperature sensor
* Voltage sensor
* Manifold absolute pressure sensor
* The amount of air being drawn into the engine is a good indication of how much power it is producing; and the more air that goes into the engine, the lower the manifold pressure, so this reading is used to gauge how much power is being produced.
* Engine speed sensor

There are two main types of control for multi-port systems: The fuel injectors can all open at the same time, or each one can open just before the intake valve for its cylinder opens (this is called sequential multi-port fuel injection).

The advantage of sequential fuel injection is that if the driver makes a sudden change, the system can respond more quickly because from the time the change is made, it only has to wait only until the next intake valve opens, instead of for the next complete revolution of the engine.

The newer SIDI Spark Ignition Direct Injection systems are excellent at supplying the driver with instant performance with optimal gas mileage. Since this system is so popular in foreign cars, it has been developed quite heavily for the American car market.
