MK so that's why every Buick, pontiac, and Oldsmobile 3.8 in the junkyard has almost 300,000 miles... those engines outlive the cars they're put in.

3.8 is actually an awesome engine, going all the way back to the oddfire 225. there are many 1000HP 3.8 turbo engines running on stock internals.

I was referring to the whole plastic intake fiasco.

Please go buy some engine degreaser and douche that motor.
I find it beyond my imagination someone could work on such a
filthy motor.

i have the aluminum Camaro intake and this is my work horse, not a show truck..

Most new cars have plastic/composite intakes now, not really a big deal. My Dads plastic intake blew on him once tho lol

Surely a quick jump to pirate is much easier than me re-uploading all my pics and info yes?

Probably not bad blood so much, as it's just not worth the effort to click the link to Pirate and then be subjected 'tudes over there.

Seriously I cant post pics that are larger than 48 KB?! Wtf

I'd love to post my build here but apparently yotatech lacks the capability of displaying my high def pics. This is lame. Ill keep trying on the yotatech app but that just crashed as well.

Ok its official. I tried to post my tech here for you guys since you seem interested.
But if I cant post a pic bigger than 48 lousy kb, yall are gonna have to go to pirate.

I give up. The yotatech app and website suck in this aspect.

Who the hell even has a picture smaller than 48 KB!?

If you care to know how a 3800 gets installed into a yota then suck it up.

If not then you are the lazy one cuz I tried.
