You guys seem to know alot and I need help.
I have a 2002 3800 non SC and I have had alot of small issues. I bought the car in July this year.... Right off I heard what I think was a lifter ticking..but no big deal, then the car started bucking, but only every once in a while and I was told it was probably a O2 sensor... Dont really worry, then it got worse and I took it in the shop... It come up Cylinder #3 was misfiring, so the checked compression and Cylinder #3 showed very low compression. I get a call that I need to have the engine rebuilt!!!!! Really???? Is this right??? I was told it "probably" overheated at some point and needs replaced/rebuilt. I know things happened before I got it but it makes no sense to me.... Just cause you have a bad cylinder you have to rebuild the entire motor??? Please give me advice!!!
