I need a 2.0 l engine for a chevy tracker
« on: September 24, 2007, 11:04:46 AM »
I can get what I think is a good deal on a 2000 4 door chevy tracker.  It has a blown engine (owner told me it threw a rod after the oil pump went bad & put a hole in the block.)  I called the junk yards in & around pittsburgh & can't find a used engine.  Can anyone help me out with a reasonably priced used engine?  If not I'll have to pass on the deal.

Have you tried the Car-Part search engine.  I got a great deal on a third member there.  Even with shipping from Michigan it was way less than purchasing locally at a salvage yard.  When junkyards compete, you win!   ;D  I look at engines on that site once in a while, too.  I'm planning an engine swap eventually.  Not sure how much shipping would be on an engine.

A place in Indiana called Jasper Engines sells rebuilt engines for foreign and domestics.  They have a good reputation and the engiens come with about a 12K warranty.  Their web address is located at:   http://www.jasperengines.com/  .     If you don't find what you want at Dave's site, check them out.

Bummer!!  I was planning on looking to them for a replacement engine for my beast after I finish this one-year job gig I locked onto.  I'll have another 50K miles on my beast by then.

For 7K I could have my buds at the  machine shop rebuild the engine and do some custom work to include porting and polishing the heads!  Hope their 2 liters aren't that salty!!!

Thanks for the offer, but $7000 is more than the truck is worth.  I was hoping to find a low mileage engine from a totalled tracker under $1500.  So far I'm not finding anything local. ( Pittsburgh, PA )

OK... I found one with 100k for $800.  I was told to change the timing chain, front & rear seals.  How often does the timing chain need to be replaced on these trucks?  Is it difficult or simple, especially since it will be out of the truck?  Will the tensioner need to be replaced also?  I went onto an autoparts website & it shows an upper chain, lower chain, left guide right guide, but says the tensioner is unavailable.  Does that mean that there is none?  Is there anything else I should replace before I put it in? Is the 2.0 an interference motor?  Questions....questions.... you guys have been a big help to me for years,  hopefully someone can answer all of these questions!! ;D

Here's a lead on one if the fella' in this other forum / thread doesn't end up getting it. Might be worth a look and then a road trip.  ;)

There is a 2002 Tracker 4d 4wd about 10 miles away being sold for parts as it was t-boned. The motor is a 2.0L with 56k miles on it, he will let me have the motor for $500 if I need it.

I don't know, a 1000 mile road trip at this pont doesn't sound too appealing.   I think I'm just going to go with the one close by ( still an hour & a half away )  I just hope someone can answer my questionsabout the 2.0 engine

Joezuki;

I took my 2000 Tracker in for a 100K service a few years ago.  My mechanic told me the metal ones in the 2 Lt engines don't need to be changed at the 100K service intervals (like  they recommend on the belt style drives of the 1.6) so I didn't have them swap it out because it was holding good timing and no wear was apparrent.   

BUT.... I had put 56K of the 96K miles on that engine and I knew where it had been and how it how been cared for.  It would be a hell of alot easier (and cheaper) to slap new timing chains on your engine NOW before you install it into your trucklet, than to get it in and go 10K down the rode and have one let go then take out your gears and have the small parts sucked into the oil sump.

IF you have the extra bucks... it might be cost effective (more better) to do it now.

My two-cents.
