First timer, newbie, fresh meat, novice here.
Looking for a general guide to 3800 rebuilding. After my own evening of googling I understand that it's not the typical path to go as a cheap running motor from a yard is the better bet.
I completely understand that. I also am lead to understand that rebuilding these is NOT that simple as one must rely more heavily on a machine shop to balance things. I'm thinking more long term, I want to learn, enjoy myself and have something usable in the end. Yes, I know the time and money aren't worth it, so you can save those speeches.
Anyone know of a general guide, a thread of someone that's done it or??? Mostly all I can find is posts and other forums explaining why it's hard and more expensive than just buying used.
I'm already ready to pull the trigger on one of two 150k 3800 engines, one for 150 with a tranny (99 pontiac) and another for 100 out of an impala. Both N/A engines.
