Hello, new to this forum.
I recently picked up a 98 GP GT Coupe for my daughter who gets her license later this year.
I purchased it from a nice guy who didn't have time to fix it.
He filled me in on what was wrong with it, a bad main bearing, and also provided a salvaged engine (unknown miles).
This car has 60k miles on it and is in quite pristine condition, except for the faulty bearing.
I would like this rebuild to focus on reliability, not necessarily performance.
I have found a good machine shop who took the time to sit down with me and explain the rebuild process, and they seem to charge a reasonable fee within our budge, especially if my daughter and I do the disassembly and reassembly.
I understand these 3800s are somewhat known for oil leaks.
From a reliability stand point, what do you recommend for the most reliable replacement gaskets?
