1985 Fiero GT (Page 1/1)
DWalker25 DEC 02, 08:50 PM
I got my first Fiero staring to run, however I would like to rebuild the engine as I suspect there was water in the engine at one point.

Does anyone have a guide or list of all the parts that would go into a complete rebuild, also if there are any original manuals that are recommended to use as reference?

Thank you!

You need to be more specific on a "complete 2.8L Rebuild" - do you mean a 'gasket kit' and reusing the 'hard parts'?

As to manuals, I use a printed copy of the Pontiac Fiero Service Manual, some may like Haynes, Chilton's or other manuals:

Welcome to Forum. I'm just south of you.

If you just got it running, depending how the water got into the engine & how long it sat, suggest changing oil & filter, then see how it does.

If it's a blown head gasket, then that the 1st repair to tackle. Was the oil milky or foamy ? How did you determine water was in the engine ?

Good luck with your project. We have many experts here that can help you.
