P0017 3l lf1 10k timing chains and oil sludge.

Is it a LFX because they will fit no problems BUT you will need to update your ECU so more added costs.

If it is a LLT then that is another can of worms as the exhaust header and ECU would need to be changed if not supplied with the engine and probably a few other things.

Never take the work of someone selling something unless you know first hand that it will work because now you have to work out what to do while he gleefully counts his money.

It's a llt 3.6 2011

Well **** will it work?

No **** it wont, because you got the wrong engine.

Why not I've read that the lf1 and lfx are swappable with ecu and headers why not the lf1 and llt?

It is a LLT.
The transmission will bolt up and everything will go in but there will be issues as stated above.

The LF1 LFW and LFX all share the same header arrangement so a swap is mainly just the ECU
The LLT has a different header arrangement so that will need to be sorted plus the ECU

Anything will work if you have enough money.

Moving between engine types may seem trivial but you are effectively doing an engine swap that’s as complicated as putting an entirely different engine type in. (Like an LS or Barra.)

It’s the engine management that gets hard. Really hard. You can’t just swap computers because that involves harness changes and next level programming.

So just stick with lf1 then is my plan and resell the engine an lf1 is an lf1 right can are these the same?
LF1 SIDI VE 08/09-08/10 current engine
LF1 SIDI VE 08/09-04/13 new engine ?

 

[Fu Manchu]

Get the newer engine though.

But will the LF1 SIDI VE 08/09-04/13 work?
