I'm a noob, how do I know what kind of engine is in my Lanos

[kevindeeley12]

I need to know how big of an engine i have in my 2001 Daewoo Lanos, the reason for this is becuase I need a new head gasket and I need to know the engine size before I can do anything.

where are you from?

well, posting a picture might help distinguish between whether its an 8v or 16v lump... if its a 16v its a 1.6... if its a 8v its either a 1.3 or 1.5.

Then I am 99% certain you have 1.5 OHC motor and it looks like this (perhaps not this pretty and detailed):



Chances are, your local parts store will not have the gasket you need - in this case ask for the headgasket for 88-92 Pontiac Lemans 1.6 - it will fit.

really? is it okay to do that? will it work for as long/be as reliable?


-sidenote- sick car bro, engine is hella mint lol.

it can be a 1350 SOHC as well... but those are available in Europe
