GM 2.5L LCV Ecotec 4-Cylinder Remanufactured Engine (VIN A) for Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Chevrolet Malibu and Impala, GMC Acadia, Chevrolet Blazer, Buick Envision and Cadillac ATS. FREE SHIPPING. No core charge.

This is not a used engine where you take a gamble on if it will last or if it is good. This engine is brand new fully rebuilt with zero miles. You can rest easy at night knowing this.

Build time: usually 5-7 days, plus shipping (varies by engine; contact us for current availability).

Photos 1-3 show the assembled long block with the timing set. Photos 4-6 show the block during the build.

Choose your vehicle from the dropdown. The price is the same for every vehicle. Your selection tells us which application you're installing it in so we can double-check fitment with your VIN.

What's included

This is a bare long block: block, crankshaft, rods, pistons, cylinder head, camshafts and valvetrain.

It ships WITHOUT the oil pan module (on the 2.5L the balance shafts and oil pump are built into the oil pan module), the front cover, the valve cover or the vacuum pump. Transfer these from your current engine.

Fitment

NOT covered by this listing

• VIN L, 2.5L LKW (2014-2015 Malibu and Impala). This is a different 2.5L with two-step variable valve lift.
• VIN T, 2.5L LKW (some 2017 GMC Acadia). Check your VIN: only VIN A Acadias are covered.
• Buick LaCrosse 2.5L eAssist (LHN).
• 2013 Malibu with secondary air injection (RPO NU6). Call us with your VIN.

How to identify your engine

• VIN 8th digit: the 8th character of your 17-digit VIN is the engine code. A = 2.5L LCV (covered). L = 2.5L LKW (not covered). If your 8th digit is anything other than A, this is not your engine.
• RPO code LCV: look for the code LCV on the Service Parts Identification (SPID) label, inside the glove box or on the door jamb.
• Casting numbers: see the table below. Casting numbers can be hard to see with the engine in the vehicle. If you can't read them, your VIN and SPID label are the fastest way to confirm.

Not sure? Send us your VIN and we'll confirm the right engine before yours is built.

Casting numbers

These casting numbers point to a GM 2.5L Ecotec, but a casting number alone can't tell the LCV apart from other 2.5L versions such as the LKW. Always confirm LCV with your VIN 8th digit (A) or the LCV code on your SPID label.

One long block for truck, car and SUV

The LCV long block internals are shared across the Colorado/Canyon trucks, the Malibu/Impala/ATS cars and the Acadia/Blazer/Envision SUVs. GM lists the same service parts for all of them, for example:

• Cylinder head assembly: GM service part number 12690422
• Crankshaft: GM service part number 12627163
• Piston: GM service part number 12652807

These are GM service (replacement) part numbers, not casting numbers. You won't find them cast into your engine. What differs between vehicles is the external hardware (oil pan module, front cover, valve cover, intake, accessories), which you transfer from your current engine.

Confirm your engine before ordering. This listing is for the GM 2.5L LCV (VIN A) only. Choose your vehicle from the dropdown and send us your VIN to confirm fitment.
