Thanx for the note
I decided it was best to take a break from for a few days heading up to the bone yard to see what I can find.
that t was cracked on this one to use rubber tape to wrap it helped a lot but i know it needs a new one (dealer item).
I asked about oil change he said changed it self meaning it goes though a lot oil
with running hotter and oil usage I'm beging to suspect a intake gasket issue.
or even a cracked manifold.
But i never worked on a 3800 before so it's all trial and error.
Good luck on yours please post your resolve when you find it
