1987 Chevrolet V10 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 1987 Chevrolet V10 covers a four-door sport utility offered in LT and SS trim with two very different engines listed against it: a naturally aspirated 6.0L OHV V8 of 364 cubic inches and a naturally aspirated 4.2L DOHC inline-six of 256 cubic inches. Eight cylinders or six changes the firing order, the accessory drive layout and much of the tune-up data, so engine mechanical, fuel and ignition material is given separately for each.

Known issues on the 1987 V10. The complaint record for this model year holds a single entry, logged against the engine and engine cooling. Cooling is well served in a manual of this kind: radiator, water pump, thermostat and fan clutch removal and installation, coolant capacity and pressure specifications, belt routing and tension figures, and the temperature sensor circuits that feed the gauge. The same sections carry the torque values and clearances for engine mechanical work on both the V8 and the inline-six.
