2.0l



The fractured stud is the one off the exhaust manifold...it snapped about
1/4 inch above the block I tried the grips bit just wouldn't go...I'll soak
it down for sure.....I will most likely just put this sucker in I
guess...I'm just tripped out that it is going to be a different car after
this!!
Machine shop for broken studs sounds good I guess....
    does anybody know where I can get an engine hoist and stand for cheap
here in Canada?
I can't move my motor around without asking for help and people are annoyed!
lol
Thanks

looking than the block and seems to be rebuilt maybe?  the intake manifold
is off, the exhaust manifold is off but there are a few studs still in the
block and one snapped in the block too....(what do I have to do for that?
drill, tap?)

no leaking from the valve cover and the engine was tested ok...is it just a
matter of switching over everything from the 1.8l?
