ENGINE EXCHANGE PROGRAM


Model and Year:
1990 L, J CARS WITH 2.2 L ENGINE


TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS

For 1990 a now increased displacement 2.2L engine has been introduced. To gain needed product feedback, an engine exchange program will be in effect until December 31, 1989. Engine concerns that should trigger a need for an engine exchange include:

^ Internal engine noise

^ High oil consumption

^ Head gasket leakage

^ Low compression

IMPORTANT:
For the items listed above, DO NOT DISASSEMBLE OR REPAIR any 2.2L engine which will require removal of the cylinder head, oil pan or front timing chain cover.

EXCHANGE PROCEDURE:

The exchange program will be administered through the Technical Assistance Network (T.A.N.).

- T.A.N. will arrange with the Tonawanda Engine Plant to directly ship a replacement engine within 24 hours. The replacement engine will be complete except for accessories.

- T.A.N. will provide a T.A.N. case number for each engine exchange. This number must be recorded on the identification card supplied with the replacement engine and affixed to the problem engine to be returned. The identification card must be filled out completely.


- The exchange unit must be returned to Tonawanda within 10 days in the original shipping crate to avoid a chargeback.

- The exchange engine must be complete as removed from the vehicle. Dealerships returning incomplete units will be subject to being billed for materials missing.

- Exchange engines should be returned C.O.D. to the Tonawanda Engine Plant. Shipping instructions will be included with the new engine.
