Remanufactured GM 2.4L Ecotec long-block engine for verified 2010–2017 GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox applications. Built to order using a sourced core, with no core charge. This is not a service to rebuild the engine you send us.

No core charge · Free lower-48 commercial dock/forklift or terminal delivery · Included 1-year unlimited-mile engine-only warranty (no labor).

Contact us for current build time and availability. Confirm the full VIN and engine configuration before ordering.

Fitment

Fitment verification: LAF and LEA are GM engine RPOs; W, C and K above are the original vehicle's eighth VIN character for the listed model years. They are not interchangeable identifiers or proof that every 2.4L engine will fit. Send the full 17-character VIN, build date and emissions information so the correct assembly can be confirmed.

Choose the correct configuration

• 2010 LAF / VIN W: requires the correct 2010 intake camshaft and actuator specification and matching fuel-system components. Do not substitute a 2011 LAF assembly as a direct swap.
• 2011 LAF / VIN C: confirm the 2011 camshaft/actuator and fuel-system specification. The eighth VIN character is not W for this model year.
• 2012–2017 LEA / VIN K: match the original emissions configuration and determine whether the vehicle has secondary-air injection. Cylinder-head air passages and associated equipment must match the application. VIN K alone does not identify all assembly details.

Not universal Ecotec interchange: this listing does not establish fitment for port-injected LE5/LE9 engines, eAssist/hybrid LUK engines, 2.0L/2.2L Ecotec engines, other GM models, or 2018-and-newer Terrain/Equinox engines. Other applications require separate verification.

Block codes and engine identification

Codes are not interchangeable: LAF and LEA are engine RPOs; W, C and K in the fitment table are vehicle VIN engine characters. A raised casting number identifies a casting design, not a complete engine specification or a unique model year. The references below do not promise a particular casting on every supplied engine.

Read the complete number: catalog abbreviations 2995, 2782 and 0428 correspond to the later full block references above; a short suffix alone is not sufficient identification. Casting/date marks do not by themselves establish the vehicle's model year. The 2010 block-casting reference and exact year-by-year casting revisions remain unconfirmed until the actual engine identification is matched.

Where to find the identification

• Engine broadcast label: photograph the entire original barcode/broadcast label, if retained, including the assembly number and production information. The broadcast code is a separate identifier; do not assume it is the engine RPO.
• Partial VIN: GM service information identifies the starter-motor flange as the primary etched partial-VIN location, with the oil-filter bowl as a secondary location. This is not the vehicle's full 17-character VIN. On a sourced-core remanufactured engine, surviving original marks identify the donor and do not certify the finished assembly's configuration.
• Block and head: provide a clear close-up of each complete raised casting number plus a wider view showing which component carries it. A head casting, cover number or service tag must not be recorded as the block casting.
• Camshaft and actuator: GM identifies the camshaft by the last four part-number digits stamped between the No. 2 and No. 3 cylinder cam lobes. Its 2011 Equinox intake-cam example is 12634207, with stamp 4207; the example intake actuator is 12621505. These examples are not universal numbers for every version. Record both actuator part numbers and the intake cam marking.
• Secondary air: match the original emissions information, head identifier and secondary-air passages/connections where equipped. If original ID marks are missing, the core/build records and installed components must establish the configuration.

Do not date the engine by color alone: GM describes the 2010 LAF design as a gray intake actuator and black exhaust actuator, versus both black for the 2011 LAF design. Replacement components, paint or remanufacturing mean this is a design clue, not proof of a photographed engine's model year or RPO.

Long-block scope and installation

Representative photos: any photos supplied for this listing show a representative engine. Configuration varies by vehicle; photographs do not establish an exact model year, engine RPO or emissions configuration. The supplied assembly must be matched to your full VIN.

Intake manifold, fuel-system components and bolt-on accessories are not included. Confirm the supplied assembly and any application-specific external components before installation; do not assume that every component visible in a reference photo is included.

Have the installer follow the correct GM service procedures for your VIN and inspect reused components, including the intake-manifold PCV passages and associated hoses. GM identifies application-specific camshaft/actuator and fuel-system requirements for these engines; a long-block replacement does not correct faults in excluded or reused components. When the high-pressure pump-to-rail pipe is removed, GM specifies a new pipe rather than reusing the original.

Delivery type

• Business with dock/forklift or terminal pickup: free
• Business without dock (lift gate): +$100
• Residential (includes lift gate): +$300

These delivery terms apply within the contiguous lower 48 United States. If the delivery address does not match the delivery type selected, the difference will be charged before shipping. Contact us before ordering outside the lower 48; Alaska and Hawaii engine orders require a freight quote rather than online checkout.

Warranty and core

Warranty: included 1-year unlimited-mile engine-only warranty. The standard warranty does not cover labor. Coverage, exclusions and claim requirements are governed by our Warranty & Refund Policy.

Core charge: none. This is a sourced-core, built-to-order long block; you do not send your engine to us for rebuilding.
