endless knowledge i think not, endless posting maybe...

i think that because of the age (j being quite late for sierras) that it will be a DOHC. not 100% though.

look at this though, funny thing when complete cars go for less...:

Engine type N9A, DOHC 8V 92Kw - sorry, not a Pinto

I used a 1990 "G" which was DOHC.

91 on I seem to remember --- but like the change over of the 1800 to CVH not cast in stone a lot of fleet order were filled from old stock.

Data Manual says 90-92, but as BT says, fleet orders got what was left over

Fleet managers are a very conservative lot, better the devil they k.new

If it's a 4x4 as it says in the advert then it is definitely a DOHC, there was never a 2.0 4x4 with the pinto engine.

The haynes manuals state the dohc replaced the 2.0 pinto from approx late 89 on. But as has been said, many cars after that date were older stockpiled cars sold as new that had pintos in em

But not 4x4 sierra's, which is what the one in question is, these NEVER used pinto's! All the 2.0 4x4's are dohc, I am 100% certain of this!
