Current Project. Rebuilding the 3800 Series 2 Motor

Why was this being rebuilt?

This had a ton of problems, Random Misfires, One Freeze plug blown out. It wasn't until we removed the motor from the car to do the freeze plug we found the underlining issues

Every Gasket in it had a leak, the Head Gaskets were blown, there was Brown sludge in the coolant passages. The previous owner just dumped random stop leaks into the system instead of fixing it right.

Clogging up the radiator, intake passages, water pump etc.
