    look at how much rebuilding a 3100 would be.

    then think about spending a LITTLE more...like a hundred bucks or so...and finding a complete 3800 and toss it in and love the new found power and reliability compared to that 3100junkerer

    Think about it.

    HG blows.

    Where's all that coolant go?

    IN YOUR ENGINE.

    So say you fix your HG...start the motor, and then...spun bearing from the coolant that got down there.

    Then you're out even more monies.

    Yay, chain of events.

    You're right.

    So I'm probably just gonna junk it or sell it as is. Could make a nice donor car.

    Maybe if I could find a 3800 for cheap I guess it would make more sense to go that route. Where could I find one for cheap
