    Excellent Video, the 3.8 GM engine is a good engine, but the intakes need to be rebuilt because of their age. If you buy a used car with this engine you should factor in $1500.00 for this repair.👍👍👍

    Those 3800's were my bread and butter 10 years ago. One of Gm's better long block engines. Plenty of accessories bolted to it that were garbage though. Series 3 3800's were much improved over series 2.
    Those were the days when GM though it was bright to use plastic intake gaskets with that rubber imbedded into it. Garbage when mixed with the Dexcool.

    Thanks for your in-depth teardown explanation on the Chevy. Seeing everything that has to be removed just to get to the problem area explains why the repair bill is so high. Can you mix Prestone green antifreeze with Prestone DexCool antifreeze when refilling the coolant system on a Chevy? Thanks.

Who knows what liquid i need to top up with as is very empty and the hose is broke

    I know this is off the topic, but my mini-bus just had all 4 of it's catalytic converter stolen from underneath. Do you have any ideas on how to prevent this type of theft aside from what you tube has already introduced? Anything will be greatly appreciated!

    You actually Can't get any coolant you want. You have to get the color match your car. It will eventually damage your engine!
