      OIL LEAK - 1994 Cutlass LQ1

      By Raffaelli · Posted

      I’ve worked on probably 2-3 dozen 60degreev6 engine headgasket or engine swap jobs, and never touched a LQ1 till I got my car. These are odd ducks.  If I ever have to drop the cradle/engine, I’d for sure do engine and trans mounts. And for that matter, the cradle to body bushings as well.

      I'm hoping this mechanic will have done enough of these jobs to do the same as you did. I'd really hate to have that rear head pulled if there is any way it would not need to be done. It would save some on serious labor hours as well.

      I was able to replace the o-ring and add an extra gasket with the information from the old double gasket thread all without removing the rear head. I also put RTV on it and it never leaked in the 10+ years I owned the car after the repair.

      UPDATE - I believe I may have found a shop with a mechanic having the experience to have worked on these motors that will do the job. My first hunch was to go to a Chevy dealership as the Lumina had these motors as well, those Z-34's you almost never see (?). As soon as they found out I was in no rush to get the car back, they were more open to the idea of working on it. I guess they thought I wanted it done yesterday. Not the case, anytime between now and July 22 will do........ Stay tuned

      One should have the service manual within reach for electrical diagnosis.
