Hi All
When I bought the Envoy it had a blown head gasket and a warped head. I pulled that and dropped in an engine from the wrecker. It's been working fine for years.
Then someone on this board spun a lower bearing and pulled the engine and I bought the head from them thinking I could put it on my block and build it as a spare engine. I think I might have bought this from Limequat but not too sure, it was more than a year ago.
I just watched a video where Nivlak57 explained that beehive springs started in 06 and I thought "that's not true, I have them on my 05" then I realized that the head is not from this car. I run out and check and sure enough I've got an 06 head.
So my question is... can I use it?
Assume I'll go to the wrecking yard and get a set of 06 valve covers and exhaust manifold to fit it and then also assume I'll buy an 06 VVT. Will the 06 VVT work with my 05 sensor and ECM?
