Info - 4.2L Goodwrench Engine Service

Subject:4.2L Goodwrench® Engine Service

Models:2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
2002 GMC Envoy
2002 Oldsmobile Bravada
with 4.2L Engine (VIN S -- RPO LL8)



The 2002 4.2L LL8 Goodwrench® engine will be replaced by the 2003 4.2L LL8 Goodwrench® engine. This will occur when the current supply of 2002 LL8 engines is exhausted.

When using a 2003 LL8 Goodwrench® engine in a 2002 vehicle, the following parts MUST be transferred from the old engine to the new replacement engine assembly.

    • Knock sensor
    • Spark plugs
    • Oil Pan

The knock sensor and the spark plugs must be transferred to insure that the vehicle has no change in emissions. The oil pan must be changed because the 2002 has a provision for oil level sensing and the 2003 does not. Failure to transfer the oil pan could result in having to remove the engine assembly from the vehicle a second time.
