Bench overhaul of the GM 2.8L, a 60-degree overhead-valve V6 with cast-iron block and heads, four main bearings with thrust at the number three bearing and a chain-driven camshaft. Lubrication schematics show oil fed from the main gallery to the left-bank lifters, cam bearings and right gallery. Disassembly covers the air injection tube, EGR valve, manifolds, valve train, heads, damper, front cover and water pump, oil pan and pump, timing chain, camshaft, pistons and crankshaft. Cleaning, inspection and repair is followed by assembly, valve adjustment and engine set-up and testing.
