Tradin' in my Chevy....
For anybody who has a Cadillac with the HT4100 series engine, this is a valuable resource! Shows an entire teardown and the process to replace components. Meant to be played in Cadillac service centers to train technicians!
The HT4100 AKA Cadillac's "High Technology" engine, was introduced in 1982 after the stop-gap solution of the much-maligned-but-technologically-fascinating V8-6-4 cylinder deactivation engine when the national fuel economy guidelines were introduced in the early 1980s
This engine went through several versions including
The original 4.1
The 4.5
And the L26 4.9 in 1991, the engine in my '92 Sedan DeVille.
This engine series if mounted transversely to accommodate the cars' front engined, front wheel drive configuration.
The HT4100, through all its forms, was applied between 1982 and 1995 and in models including the DeVille, Fleetwood, Eldorado, SeVille and Allanté.
In my personal experience, the L26 4.9 is a dependable engine that lets you know if its having problems in advance of the problems becoming serious. Some symptoms I have had experienced misfires and lagged acceleration. If you experience these issues, come back to this video because it will be useful to remedy any issues deeper than replacing the spark plugs, rotors, and belts.
The majority of the time, that is, while the engine is functioning, you'll enjoy responsive, peppy acceleration, smooth long-distance driving, and quiet, reliable functionality.
