Yes I'm not even old enough to drive but I'm still interested

GM released a TSB for these engines and a "recall" for I believe 2009-2013 models as per the class action. Their solution was to reprogram the ECM for 3k mile oil changes instead of 5k or 6k. It's been a while since I was willing to touch one so you'll want to look that up. The PCV fix would be better but you know, manufacturers want the cheapest solution possible, even if it costs you double in oil changes. Pull those valve covers and the RH will be dark while the LH looks perfect. So much for R&D before release!

An owner giving up on a car because of what a dealer says; obviously the dealer has a conflict of interest. Dealers are notorious for creating work ticket estimates that exceed the value of the car so they can give the "You may as well just trade it" pitch.

No, as a tech in a dealer, we have to be able to perform a repair that we can stand behind warranty wise. No way we can just throw timing chains on a high mileage sludged up engine. If we cant perform a repair that can be warrantied at any dealer in the country, we wont do it and recommend, in our opinion,, the best solution. The customer is ALWAYS welcome to take their vehicle to a independent shop and have a less reliable, cheaper repair performed. Also, the service department could give a shit less what happens in sales. We are paid on flat rate so if we are not doing a repair, we dont get paid. Obviously sending the customer to the sales department would mean I wont make a dime off of it. So no, there is no conflict of interest. Sales and service departments in a dealer are two totally different businesses.

@@colescrustycars That's something a lot of people don't understand. A dealer can't offer a fix that they can't reasonably guarantee will fix the problem. With that amount of sludge, and likely associated damage, a new engine is the correct dealer-level fix. An independent mechanic can offer up cheap fixes if they so choose, hopefully only after getting the customer to sign off on the fact that it might not work or might make things worse, but not a dealer.

I’ve done this myself on what was considered a junk engine without any special products. Just did seven oil changes in one day. Saved a truck that I bought for next to nothing. Kept it for many years of heavy use changing the oil every 2500-3000 miles after the initial cleaning. With all the detergents in modern oils extra additives are not necessary.

@drippingwax

How long did you idle the truck between oil changes? :) I have read that oil flushes can damage the engine, but all that I have gathered so far is that sometimes the seals are bad and the sludge is actually providing a seal, so you get leaks afterward. Also, the flush may loosen contaminants from one place, and they just get stuck somewhere else.

Doing the cats and getting new screens/filters for the solenoids will definitely make this engine run 100% better. I can't wait to see those chains and guides inside the engine!

No worries, 3K isn't overly high for most gas engines. My car reaches 3K RPM at only 65 MPH in 5th gear and has been on many road trips at nearly 4K RPM for hours at a time and the engine still has like new oil pressure and compression with no major oil consumption almost 20 years and 280K miles later. Oh, and it sees full throttle and redline at least once every time it gets driven too. Engines are way tougher than most people realize.

I know a lot of people hate this engine (3.6L V6 direct injection) but I have had good luck with it. Used to own a 2008 Buick Enclave. Had that engine for about 10 years, 150,000 miles. Really never had trouble with it. Used BG products every 30,000 miles to keep the direct injection system clean, and the engine was good. I believe this engine comes down to maintenance, but most don't do it correctly as GM has nothing in the maintenance plan about cleaning the direct injection system. Same thing goes for the 2.0L Ecotec turbo 4 cylinder direct injection engine which I now have in a 2018 Buick Envision. Cleaned it again with BG products at 30,000 and so far no issues but a young 36,000 miles.

Looks great! I’d pop open the oil pan to see if the sludge went to the pan

Nice video, looking forward to the next ones. Just a note though, when adding fuel cleaner, use a clean funnel! When I inspect oil filters, I cut out a section of the media and lay it out, the folds are where the debris will collect. It will be much easier to see and pass a magnet over it to draw out any iron. Works good on iron block diesels but, might not be much help on aluminum gas engines.

Car ran well, but I went ahead and dropped the oil and changed the filter. When I looked down the oil fill, saw a LOT of varnish on the cam. I bought a gallon of good ol' Marvel Mystery Oil and put about a quart and a half in. Topped the oil and drove her about 150-200 miles and dropped the oil again. New filter and oil, another quart and a half of Marvel, oil, and drove her another 200 miles. Dropped the oil and it came out MUCH cleaner than before. Rinse and repeat. I've put about 1k of miles on her, powerful and smooth. Almost time for another change now. Looked down the fill hole and was quite surprised that the cam was almost completely clean!!! After the next change, I'll drop the oil at 3k miles and a new filter every time. Good old Marvel to the rescue!! I had no idea about the cleaner you used on the Camaro; might have gone that way instead. Previous owner was lax about oil changes like on your car John.

When you use an engine flush solvent and it starts to react with the sludge it will continue to flake off and make its way into the Pan. At that point your best bet is to simply remove the oil pan clean out as much as you can, clean out our pick up tube to the oil pump. Reassemble and do multiple oil changes.

They say to stretch out the oil change interval mainly to make it seem like the newer engines are so much more reliable and better built they don't need their oil changed as often. I would think unless you have a super filter you would still want to change it out every 3k or so. I have always changed my oil and filter every 3k give or take. It's still one of the cheapest things you can do for your car to make it live longer. The newer cars have a oil change light that sometimes tests the quality of the oil to tell you when it's gone away and needs to be changed. Pretty sure if oil stays clean you could run it till the additives go away and just add what it needs but most cars don't filter well enough to get away with that, especially once they start wearing out.

In the 70s and 80s, my dad would run tranny fluid into a sludgy engine, drive 50 miles, change, and refill. We fixed a messed up 1975 ramcharger with a blown timing chain that was blowing smoke that way (also, the new timing chain).

I’ve had a few cars I’ve been able to revive with BG products. When you got over 6qts buy the 32oz bottle of EPR and a couple cans of MOA. EPR also amazing in diesels

I have seen other people get the camera to focus on shiny objects close up by cupping their hand around the object. Good luck with this one JR!

"Test pipes" coming soon.

Best comment on the internet 🤣

Very interesting and i'm curious to know the end result once you fixed all error codes.

Love the transitions

Boy that engine is loud.

Why does that look like a can of liquid Swartz, does the car ninja know Yogurt the All-Powerful?

For those of you who like Space Balls, I only recently discovered that there was an animated show on G4 in 2008-09 or so. I watched it a few weeks ago online and it was actually pretty hilarious, you can even find the episodes on KZread. Mel Brooks actually stars in it too and created and produced it. Worth a watch. kzread.info?search_query=spaceballs+animated+series

"Comb the Desert"

Try RVS engine restore, it works great in these situations. It coats any surfaces where there's metal to metal friction and restores tolerances.

Bg products are my go to, I love them

Branden From my distributors, general public normally can’t use the professional products but they pop up on ebay from time to time.

"never fix an Engine"... Tries to fix one right after he tried to fix one. ;)

I've seen way worse engines when I was a ford tech, and we just fixed what was broken and sent them with a warning

That's what happens when you change the oil every 10k previous owner must have never done routine PM's I was surprised with the flush looks like it did a decent job. Hope it works out for you. 👍

So many dealers today won’t go in depth with an engine, it’s replace or go somewhere else. I had one local say a head gasket on an iron block iron head engine needed a new engine.

These engines are known for stretching timing chains from long maintenance intervals/extended run time at low oil level. I experienced this on an Ultra low mileage Enclave I purchased as a daily driver. One owner Vehicle had 48k miles and CEL came on - timing was off and soon after cats clogged and burned due to running rich. Long story short your going to need timing chains, cats, O2 sensors, check cam actuators and clean out the valve covers/change PCV. You will be surprised how finicky these engines are to maintaining the right amount of oil and interval. These do suffer from too much oil vapor getting sucked from the crank case to intake - CHANGE THE HEADCOVER GASKETS - GM updates the design and didn’t tell anyone. Make sure you get the new ones from the dealer! Good luck brotha - enjoying the channel!

That gas door has a small plastic hook that you hang the gas cap cable across so it doesn't hang on side of car. Had a GM car a few years before I figured that out.

Once just open the oil pan and have a look at the pickup tube. It will be really helpful. At times they clog up and you won't have the required oil flow or lubricant happening in the engine.

As someone else pointed out unplugged connector at 3.35, worth pointing out to make sure you put it back on as not shown on video.

I like that it actually has a true dual exhaust. My Genesis coupe connects to a single tube in the middle :(

New camera looks awesome..... when it focuses

The variance in RPM was due to the AC compressor kicking on if you look at the part of the video where you are checking the oil pressure you can see it goes off and on.

GM had some of the world's best V6s in the 80s and 90s, GNX, Typhoon, Syclone. Can't forget to mention every 4.3 and 3.8 ever made. WTF happened since then? Should have made an ls based v6 for the new standard.

Name one overhead cam engine GM has ever made that didn't eat timing chains or leak oil all over the place? I can't think of a single one.
