    Ok, a while back i changed my lower and upper intake gasket (imagine that!) and was pushed in a hurry and got my rods mixed up, the question is, what is the correct placement of the rods in the 3.1? its a '00(know it doesnt make a diff though)

    No, on a 3.1 they are different lengths.

    I can see this post is over a month old, but im not sure if you got it fixed
    I recently bought a 96 pontiac grand prix, 3.1 SE edition, and found out the head gaskets are broke, and much other **** was wrong.The guy was a complete idiot and didnt know how to take care of a car..

    Ive got a 2005 GTO LS1 Supercharged, on 30LB.. hitting over 700 REHP.

    But, RODS Go : EXCHAUST:Long Intake Short, Go to autozone and buy a Haynes Repair book on this car, its about $20, but worth it..It helped us alot, wen getting further down in to the car.
