1. install tach
2. rev it up in neutral until it blows up
3. install new engine
4. set tach redline for less than where it blew the first engine up at

i dunno how accurate the tach is…my s10 blazer(even though it’s the 4.3) redlines at like 5500 on the tach…but i’ve ran it probably a good bit higher than that before it actually starts to bounce

he was not asking for a 4.3, why comment in the first place?

my 390 in my truck is 4500, I hope that helps in your search for your 2.2L.

we have the same vehicle just different year/engine size…something could have been related…unlike your 390 which has nothing to do with GM
