    You can call them with your VIN and they can check. What were you going in for the VC Gaskets?

    If I can spend ten in gas instead of paying 40 or so for felpro gaskets I'll try it cause I got oil puddle built up around the injector

    I never heard of a steering recall but they can check, well you might want to just fo the gaskets yourself anyway. They only replace one of them and I think it's the rear, then they put the plastic thing to move the oil away from the mani on the front.

    Are you stock or have any mods? Either way I would keep the stock 195 unless your tuned for the 180. The car if sitting for a bit it will hit 210 as thats when the fans come on then it will drop and then go back up ect. Perfectly normal.

    As long as you have the supporting mods and scan for KR you shouldn't have any problems. 3800s are very reliable motors, the transmissions on the other hand are made of glass. If you haven't read the safely modding your 3800 thread I suggest doing that. Lots of good info in it.

    It's got a new jasper transmission in it, we'll has roughly 60000 on it he was old and couldn't remember what year is was put in but the guy I bought it from was in his late 60s and he seemed like the type not to dog it out and he had been putting 87 in it and I told him it was suppose to be 93 so that's what I put in it,219xxx and still strong but I've skimmed over the post and I'll go check it out
