• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

First! Yay!



90-91 Grand Prix is when they put that engine in the car.....I had a 91 Grand Am with the 2.3L HO quad and it was great for its time. Could beat any 6 banger and some 8's with its Muncy High Performance 5 speed. Never took it to the track but I would have to guess it ran low 14's in the 1/4.

Hey Scotty, you better watch yourself. I know some people who know some people who robbed some people.
I used to live in Bville, I bet I can find you. Besides, If I had a Tom Tom, I could find your job. (If I had a Tom Tom, I'd have about 50k less miles on my car.haha)
I'll see you in Branson:p
 


What, are you coming to pick me up and take me there? Should I wash my hair now, or wait........like six months or so when you might finally find the place...LOL.
 
i had a 1991 beretta GTZ and it came with 5 speed Quad 4 motor. was a nice car too until it blew head gaskets. i think some of the olds model also used Quad 4 too.

From what I heard that was a common problem of the quad 4. The usually blew around 100K is what I was told.

I have an 89 olds cutlass calais with the lo quad 4, and yea I blew the head gasket at about 80,000 miles, need a icm now and some valve work done,so while working on this I got my wife A 97 Grand Prix SE.

So if anyone got any spare 11 pin icm's, for the 89 olds cutlass calais let me know.
 
I think your best bet will be a salvage yard. Yea the headgaskets in these motors usually go around 100K miles, and when they do you will usually find a crack between the intake and exhaust valve seats. Its not hard to rebuild them, but I did find that the felpro valve stem seals did tend to leak a bit, so I went back with GM ones and they sealed up fine. Not sure if they packaged them wrong, but the GM ones I had to press on with a socket, and the felpro could be put on with your hand.

Sorry for the late response but yea, my head gasket just started leaking a little and was getting a little water in the oil, so I replaced hg, had head pressurized and milled, and the shop that did that put the valve seals in also, and if I remember right it was the felpro gasket set with valve stem seals I purchased. And now there is a tick in the #4 exhaust valve area (checked with stethoscope). hope its just a lifter though.
