Ecotec 2.0L Forged Long Block For Sale

This forged long block based on the LDK/LHU Gen 3 Ecotec engine is designed for those looking to significantly improve the performance and reliability of their GM performance vehicle. It’s an ideal option for owners of the Cobalt SS, HHR SS, Saturn Sky Redline, Pontiac Solstice GXP, or Buick Regal, looking for a more robust engine that can handle higher power levels than the stock LDK.

Key Features:

  • Base Engine: New zero-mile LDK from GM.
  • Upgraded Internals:
    • 4340 forged rods (ZZP)
    • 86mm forged Wiseco pistons
    • ZZP head studs
    • ZZP upgraded timing guide with upgraded bolt
    • OEM crank and main bearings retained.
  • Gen 3 Ecotec Block Advantages:
    • Cylinder wall bracing to prevent sleeve breakage in high HP applications.
    • Sand casting for reduced porosity compared to older blocks.
    • 5 lbs. more aluminum added for structural support, solving coolant jacket issues found in Gen 2 blocks.

Fitment Options:

  1. Cobalt/HHR SS (LNF):
    • If you have a Cobalt SS or HHR SS, select this option for proper setup. The engine will come with a block-off plate replacing the Regal vacuum pump. It uses the LHU head and camshafts (ideal for performance cam grind swaps).
  2. Sky/Solstice GXP (LNF):
    • For Saturn Sky or Pontiac Solstice GXP, select this option. The engine will come with an LNF head/cam swap to ensure proper clearance for the firewall.
    • You’ll need to reuse the RWD specific balancer, oil pan, valve cover, and cylinder head coolant bleed fitting.
  3. Buick Regal 2.0 (2011-2013):
    • A direct replacement for the LDK/LHU engine in the Buick Regal with no modifications required. This is a drop-in engine for that vehicle.

What’s Not Included:

  • Intake manifold
  • Fuel rail/injectors
  • High-pressure fuel pump
  • Exhaust manifold

Important Installation and Break-In Procedure:

  • Oil: Use Comp Cams break-in oil for the first 200 miles, requiring 7 quarts.
  • Priming: Before starting, fill the engine with oil and turn the engine over with the injector harness unplugged until the oil pressure light goes out or you reach full oil pressure.
  • Break-In RPM Procedure:
    • Start with light throttle and increase to 4500 RPM, coast down, and then repeat the process incrementally up to 6500 RPM. This helps seat the rings before operating under full power.

Warranty:

  • 1-year manufacturer’s defect warranty.
  • Important: Warranty excludes power-related failures and exterior costs like labor, shipping, and lost wages.

Summary:

This is an excellent upgrade for those looking to extract more power and improve the durability of their Ecotec-based vehicle, especially when pushing higher performance levels. Whether you’re looking to rebuild an existing engine or replace a worn-out one, this ZZP forged long block provides the strength and reliability needed for high-performance applications.
