Also in your sig it say 2.0 ecotec. Did they make them in 2.0? I thought they were only in 2.2?




I've been to one of the meets in Woodbridge. Though it would be nice to take a 10 minute drive instead sometime... somewhere local and meet fellow Contourians. It'd also be nice for You to visit us!

In 2003 GM dropped the QUAD 2.4L 4 engine from the Z24 / GT line up and replaced the 2.2L 4 engine in all other Cavaliers and Sunfires. They began filling all the Cavalier / Sunfire engine bays with the new 2.0 Ecotec engine. It's got 140 ponnies, is pretty gutsy, gets better gas mileage over the old and is pretty bulletproof along with the tranny. And yes the valve cover gasket doesn't seep at 20k! Long overdue update on those cars too...now where's that Cobalt? Oh by the way...GM also installs that engine in their Saturn vehicles and other European products.






I don't know what the heck I was thinking but it is a 2.2 Ecotec. Did an oil change on the car on Sunday and I knew about the literage before I opened the hood. I meant to say 2.2....blah...I HAD A LONG WEEK! Who's coming to my house warming party?

P.S. Anybody up for a Contour meet this coming weekend weather permitting?
