i have a 96 2.4 and i just got everything back from the machine shop (spun #3 bearing) and i had to get a new crank and have it turned. the crank they gave me back doesnt have the timing chain gear on it. i was wondering if this was pressed on or if it was part of the crank...they might have gave me the wrong one or forgot to put the gear back on. thanks

oh man, you spun a bearing and decided to rebuild then engine! You are my bhero. And its really coincidental that you spun the same bearing I did. Praise GM's great quality parts :roll:

80%-90% of engine failure on these motors is b/c of that.

yea i know... hence the crack on GM for having shitty quality parts. Hence the eyeroll.
Yay for internet sarcasm. I failed.

id do the 2.3 oil pump swap if i were you or spun #3 will probably happen again. since i spun mine a couple weeks ago i am rebuilding mine with it. if you need instructions just ask i link em up.

i thought about it but i just didnt want to take anylonger. its allitle late for that now though, its all put together and ready to drop in sat hopefully if the weather holds up. i might do it in the future but just not right now.

What kind of mods do you plan on running to achieve this? Is your car auto or manual?
