All done, pretty straight forward, but took way longer than expected due to a snapped bolt in the timing cover while doing the water pump:

welding a bolt to was the only way to remove it. I tried PB over night, heat and ...

What happened to it? Looks great from the pictures and very tastefully done. Nice work.

Some nice bay out there! Here are mine.
It may not be a Bonneville, but this L67 came from one and its still in an H-body :)

Just FYI but I tried three different heater plugs and toggle bolts and they all had catastrophic blow outs causing total coolant loss.

But I've never had issues before on other vehicles, and plan to ...

Thanks for the info guys.
I got a head of myself and disassembled everything before flushing. I can still do it once its all back together i guess.
Some highlights of the disassembly:

The brass wing retainer was split in two, looks like it might have been over torqued. Will be replacing it this weekend along ...

I recently acquired a 2003 Regal with 160,000km on the clock and came across a coolant leak. Here is the store.
I was on my way home last night and punched it to pass, going about 100km/60mph, needless to say, it was my first time really punching it. Dropped gears smoothly, and got into the red zone ...

Sounds like ou got through the rough patch. As for the head studs, no need to pull the whole motor. All you have to do is remove the valve cover after a run, see where the coolant in pooling, should be very evident. drain the coolant, pull the stud, and suction out as much fluid as possible get a ...

My build has been using some 1998 Bonneville wheel bearings in the front, and only have 800km/500miles on them. They were whisper quiet, things were good.

They sat in storage(indoor garage no heat) for this past winter, didnt move for 5 months. Took it out for its first test drive this weekend and ...

I would probably let it idle a little more than 20 seconds without the valve cover, unless it sounds really bad.
When I started my L67 after the build, my new oil pressure sensor was faulty and had me slightly worried, but there wasnt a lot of shatter coming from the engine. I left it for the first ...

Looks good. This thread reminds me of all the troubles I went through, given the lack of documentation on things. I thought there would have been alot more out there.

I wouldnt worry about the cam! *shoot* happens, I pinched one of my connecting rods when installing my crank. It also marked my ...

I've come along way since my last post, but nevertheless, shes running nice other than a nasty sounding exhaust.

I know reviving old threads is frowned upon, but what I dislike even more is digging up old project threads and never having closure.

Well dont lead me on with just a picture! Sell me the *dang* thing!!!

Unless thats a generic photo you found.

ummm, never noticed an extension while removing the harness. I'll check my pile of wires and see if anything in lingering. That would make sense because originally the wire was too short, so I ended up extending it. I thought it was too short because of the routing I chose for the main harness, but ...

Are there any for an SII L67?

I was in the mist of trying to connect the rear one (between engine and tranny) and noticed that the connector won't fit in the sensor. The front is definitely a smaller connector when compared to the rear. Are the sensors actually different in any way? I cannot seem ...

After rebuilding my L67 SII, and running it probably 30 minutes total I've been going over various leaks. The major one of concern is a head stud leaks coolant, located at the firewall bank outside of head, closest to the passenger side. It leaks very little, but its a leak that I don't want. I used ...

Here is how one guy re-installed the bushing.

here is how i did it:
To install the subframe/control arm bushings I used a 1" socket and tapped it in between the supports ...

I didn't even think new control arms were available...

here is how I removed mine. I'd say it was about 30 minutes to do the last one once i realized what i was doing.

Tools include a 5 lbs sledge hammer, a flat chisel, gloves and eye protection.
Here are the pictures from the control arm which ...

I sure hope not! I'll be your first customer when you're ready. Unless I take a stab at it my self. Will probably just go with the late 80s riviera calipers in the back.
