quad 4
What do you really need to know? QUAD 4 simply means a 4 valve per cylinder 4 cylinder engine Oldsmobile produced, and GM put in various cars from 88~94. A few facts: the QUAD4 was produced from 88~94. While a lot will still refer to the engine that replaced it as a QUAD4, it is not. It became the "Twin Cam". While I can't get into GM's Engineer's heads on the why, the fact you can not bolt a 95 right in where anything from 88~94 was is probably the main reason. Having said that, the basic engine was very much the same from 88~2002, which is why most people will refer to the any 2.3L or 2.4L in those years as a QUAD4. Why does it matter? Well the fact is when Olds (all the engines are Oldsmobile motors byt the way, regardless of the make its in) first made the motor, which was prior to the production model in 1988, they were making 750HP with a 2.2L version of it. (An Andretti drove the indy car it powered to more than 226mph laps at Indianapolis.) So, for most of us what do we care? We care that we can get v8 power from a 4 cylinder with 4cyl economy when we can keep our foot out of it. So, why does it get bashed all the time. Well like anything else there were some growing pains which did include some engine failures. More or less those problems have been resolved. Even in the older configurations the most significant issues have readily available fixes. So, what should I look for? In a perfect world you would want a post 94 block mated to a pre 94 HO head. You would get the best power with the newer fixes and a smoother running motor. In reality, if you want reliable economy, look for a 96 or later twin cam version. (some people will refer to the single cam as a QUAD4. well clearly it is not as it only has 2 valves/cyl) If you want serious out of the box OEM power grab an early 90's HO. It has to ba a VIN A motor (8th digit), and ALL of them will say HO right on the engine cover. It doesn't guarantee anything 100%, but it will have that cover if it hasn't been changed. So, what should I stay away from? Avoid the early single cam motors like the plague. These engines are where most of the bashing comes from, even thought they aren't a QUAD4. Also avoid sticking with the original head of ANY pre 95 QUAD4. This may sound like a stupid thing to say (ya want me to buy a car and change the head?) but if you're thinking about buying a cheap car that happens to be in good shape, why not spend $300 and take 90% of your worries out in an afternoon. A person with SOME mechanical ability, the right tools (nothing fancy or expensive) and an off the shelf guide from a parts store can do this job in about 4~6 hours depending on the person and work area.

Great present for my wife, she uses it all the time, and it's her to a T.
Excellent satire - didn't see comments to that end, so find it hard to fathom if most readers, in turn, didn't laugh out loud, and say so. But apparently not.

Nice Mug my second Mug. A little staining or photo graphic stain on the side of the cup and shown in the picture. As a result I cannot give a 5 Star Review.
This mug, much like a cursed relic unearthed from the depths of despair, embodies a cacophony of design flaws and manufacturing mishaps that make one wonder if it was birthed from the darkest corners of incompetence itself. From its deceptively promising exterior, which boasts a color scheme akin to a bruised banana left out in the sun for too long, to its handle that feels more like a medieval torture device designed to punish the unsuspecting hand that dares to grasp it, every aspect of this mug screams "regret." Its material, a sinister amalgamation of recycled nightmares and shattered dreams, leeches a flavor reminiscent of stale coffee mixed with the tears of disappointed souls into whatever liquid unfortunate enough to be poured within its cursed confines. The rim, jagged and uneven like the edge of a poorly forged blade, guarantees that each sip is a perilous journey fraught with the risk of lip lacerations and existential dread. And let us not forget the bottom of this vessel, where the manufacturer's logo is stamped with all the subtlety of a scarlet letter, branding the user as a victim of their own poor purchasing decisions for all eternity. Indeed, this mug serves as a stark reminder that sometimes, in the vast expanse of consumer goods, there exists a dark abyss where quality and utility fear to tread, leaving only disappointment and regret in their wake.
I think it’s funny and the quality is really good. Shipping was pretty fast too.
Without this mug, my life was but a series of painful unfortunate events. Since it has come into my life, love has followed, joy has followed and dishonour has been disavowed. Sincerely. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Please keep up the good work and I hope everyone will find joy as I have one day.
Sent this to my crush now she has a restraining order on me!!!
I love the Duh Big Red Truck so much that I have a tattoo. So does my best friend. We’re in our 60s. Woot woot!
I spent the money and directly sent this to be the pettest person ever to a person who was doing this to me. It was awesome
Best purchase of my life, it's all downhill from here!
It shows exactly what I want!!
