Time to change the acc belt squeels and loads of belt dust in the engine bay. Thought this would be an easy fix, it's a woo not on you life. Top bolt was easy as pie of course the bottom nut needs to be loosened to move the alternator to relieve tension it's frozen in place. Used pb blaster, a socke...

fixed the prob. I looked in the medicine cabinet and found a medicine dropper used to give kids meds. looked to be the right diameter got a knife and started trimming and it worked on the second try way better than anything you can buy at the parts store.

had to get a new fuel pump so before i installed it thought it would be a good idea to swap out the filter. had issues getting the disconnect tool in due to clearance issues. i had read somewhere before cut the filter off and then the disconnect tool slides in and viola. Well didn't work at all, see...

Ok guys i finally ordered a new fuel pump for my lanos. It's been out of comission for several months just needed some cabbage for a 200 plus dollar pump. I have changed the sending unit a few years back so I know the deal I should need a new o-ring where the pump flange meets the tank. Went to a gm...

I tried to turn it over today and nothing I smelled fuel afterwords just not firing up would that still point to a fuel prob.

Last week my lanos almost left me stranded. It took longer to turn over, usually one crank and were're off but this time it took almost a minute to start. I'm on my way work things are a little rough stopped at a light and she died. Got her cranked back up and pulled a u turn and she died again fina...

My 1.6L lanos has 85000 miles and I'm sure soon I will need a new clutch. I don't have any problems with slipping anything I'm not sure what the average mileage is out of these clutches. I would prefer something better than stock more performance is my thing now and I'm gonna do everything I can to ...

finally got it fixed. got an o-ring from the dealer and the ring seal for the thermostat itself from ebay. you can't dealers can't get them anymore from what they told me the seal was done away with when the plastic housings came out. the part number for the ringseal is 90096383. http://cgi.ebay.com...

I may try the rtv for the thermostat side of things not sure if it will work since the gasket is supposed to take up some room on the outside lip of the thermostat by itself it just kind of moves around in the housing as for the head side of things I have to round up a gasket it's not an o-ring it's...

Ok I have a 2000 lanos 1.6 it had a leaky thermostat seal so I looked a napa and got a thermostat and an 0 ring. First off the o ring listed there is way too big. Then the gasket on the stock thermostat crumbled when I tried to take it off. Went to advanced and the guy was really helpful found somet...

The confusing thing is the angular torque. If the initial 25nm or 18 ft lbs is met then the angular torque could be off but how can you re-torque the angle portion of it. If it were just a ft lb torque I wouldn't be confuse about the situation but What I think is when my first got the car she had to...

Yeah the d seals got replaced and the engine was cleaned up and I can see where It's seeping from the head I'm still hoping re torquing seals it up.

Noticed that my woo is leaking fluid since its been sitting waiting on some parts. Looked today and it's coming from the thermostat housing. I's coming from the bottom can't tell if the seal is bad or if the housing is going bad. Before I pull it how does this thing seal do you have to use silicone ...

So should I loosen all the bolts then re-torque them or loosen one at a time then torque them. Also will I have to put a new valve cover gasket on when I pull the cover. One more thing do those specs cover a 2000 1.6 the diagram says to 1999 not sure if they are the same. Thanks for the info thus far.

Do you have any idea what the torque specs and pattern are for the head bolts.

Thanks
