Re: Considering an s10 2.2

I haven't heard anything horrible about them, but these are the things to look out for:

-valve cover gasket leaking
-head gasket leaking (or head crack) - only if overheating is or has been an issue.
-the fitting on the hard coolant line that wraps around the passenger side of the engine and plugs into the thermostat housing often corrodes

As far as fuel mileage, they were rated at City 23/Hwy 29
