Was the belt tensioner on the engine when you got it? It would be nice to see it and see if it actually was the cause of the engine failure

I love haters. . That's what happens when you get out of the service and go from absolutely busy to absolutely bored. You start modifying an Aveo and start posting about it. Thanks for all the love.

Nope, the head was already removed when I got the car as were a few other things.

Welllll, no engine yesterday. But, I will definitely have it tonight! Can't wait to get it. Hopefully everything checks out okay and I can drop it right in.

I got the engine last night. Didn't do anything with it as I had a few other things to attend to. But, I did snap some pics.

The engine is in fair shape. As with most salvage engines they aren't the most careful with it and a few things a broken (timing belt cover, a few wire connectors, etc.). I'll just pull the good parts off the other engine to replace them.

Out of curiousity: do you know how much it weighs?

Metal thermostat housing ftw!
