Just wish I had little Japanese hands.Just getting the spark plugs out for a comprression check was an adventure! I'm used to huge underhood spaces on mid-70's Chev trucks...


The 2.8 is an american engine nothing Japanese about it, even thoug hit uses metric fittings. I can't imagine what you would call an easy engine to work on if you think these GM engines are tight, my 3.1 had plenty of space everywhere to do what ever you needed done. What do the 70s engines do, remove the spark plugs for you?

Almost. The engine compartments are so big on the 73 and later Chevy/GMC's, you can actually climb in, close the hood and keep working, if you have one like mine, with a small block V8, power steering, power brakes and no other options.The biggest problem there is being able to reach the engine without having to use a stepladder to get to it!
