jeremy Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 that sucks.....at least you aren't afraid of the engine Quote
slick Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 That engine isn't all that different from the 3.4. Also, if you get the newer style head(I think 94-96), you stand a far less chance of blowing a head gasket. Quote

digitaloutsider Posted December 29, 2004 Report Posted December 29, 2004 I wanna do what that magazine did and put a Quad 4 HO in a completely stripped out old Grand Am. Anyhow, glad you got it fixed, Davis! Quote

cutlassdude96 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 you should allways warm the quad up during really cold days Quote
dbtk2 Posted December 30, 2004 Report Posted December 30, 2004 I can't really warm mine up due to the fact that my ebrake is broken and my driveway and street are both pretty steep hills, so I have to be in the car while its warming up. If I am at work or something I will let it warm up for a couple minutes before leaving though. However, I let it warm up for like a minute while I'm in it at home, and then I drive through my subdivision for a couple minutes (about a mile) so by the time I actually get on it, it is fairly warmed up. (usually heat is starting to come out) Haven't had a problem yet, but blown head gaskets are a common problem with the Quad 4. Hopefully I make it through the winter without that problem. The only thing I've broken so far on this car *knock on wood* is the shift cable, so I'm satisfied so far for what it is. Shawn Quote
