Hello all. I just picked up a very clean mint condition 1988 Sedan DeVille with 59k miles on the clock. I bought the car knowing that there was a coolant problem but I have never seen anything like this. The coolant leaks quickly into the crankcase even when the engine is not running. The car does not smoke like the head gasket is blown. The engine is the 4.5. I bought another engine already with under 25k miles on it and have decided to drop it in. I just can't find any info on how this is done. I have the factory service manual and it does not cover engine removal. Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as swapping out the engine. Thanks
Ya, like 99% of all techs that do it.
You watch someone do it.
Then you help someone do it.
Then you do it.
It's not that hard, a 100 IQ is enough.
Just do it. Take notes/pics.
Bag/tag fasteners/small parts by component/area worked on.
Organization is mandatory.
Got the engine out. That bracket and the last transmission bolt kick my arse! Didn't know they were there and was wondering why the engine wouldn't separate from the trans.
Thanks guys. I appreciate the fast response. And, since there are no vacuum switches in the ac system, I can put the dash board back together.

I’m putting my head back on and im just wanting to make sure I get it right. On my cam gears do I put the key at 90 degrees from head surface or the marks at the top of the gear. On the intake gear they appear to be about one tooth different depending on which one I use. On 2005 Deville
If I'm not mistaken all the 2000 and 2001 Cadillac DeVilles with TPMS use the same 315 MHZ sensor?
Has anyone used any other sensor found on another make/model with success?
For instance, I had no idea this would happen so I didn't bother a relearn attempt: I put 05-06 Equinox wheels & tires on...
I'm about to scrap an '02 DHS (crummy paint and non-head gasket overheating, knocks at 1500).
Before it goes, I want to extract the power telescoping and tilting steering wheel to put on something else, someday.
Can anyone give me any hints or show me where to find non-video instructions for...
I have a friend who owns a 93 deville with the 4.9 v8. A couple weeks ago the lower left rear a arm/control arm just rotted out on him and fell apart. He and myself have looked in very many places and cant seem to find a replacement. If anyone has any idea on where to find one or another vehicle...
