    Can 3800 engine be rotated forward to get at the rear plugs.Getting ready for the cars first plug and wire change.I could rotate the 3.1 engine in my old Grand Prix made things a lot easier to get at.

    sure can. remove the dog bones, pull it forward. adds a few inches of room.

    More than likely yes. I have never worked on one of these, but, I am guessing it can. However, I have huge freaking hands (Hands are almost 9" long and my ring finger is a size 15 ). I never had to do this on my 98 model. I cant imagine average sized hands would have that problem.

    Scott is a nightmare in a garage. Gloves don't fit, he kicks the car from across the garage with those large flippers and ... wait, the prybar fit in his hands.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
