The Suzuki engine was licensed from GM and the Suzuki repair manual references the Cadillac STS engine. Engine needs to be replaced due to timing chain failure. I would expect things like intake and exhaust manifolds would have to be swapped. Can you show me how to replace the engine?

That is correct. Most of those parts would need to be swapped over but it really depends on the replacement engine you get and what it comes with.

I am attaching the process. Let me know what questions you have. Thanks
