well if i came off hard please forgive me. i know when i first got her i dident know jack and i asked alot of stupid questions....ones that are a lot more stupid than this one.....i just thought what zerg said about
"If you are asking if you can do it, you can't. When you have learned enough to know that you can do it, you are able to."
made perfect sence.

x2 for me on the zerg quote. hope u didnt take anything i said to heart

because im still learning

I appologize for coming off harsh. It's just that T-bats post, the first one in the topic I might add, was about as dead-on as a laser-guided bomb. I honestly couldn't have described a top-swap to a newb better myself.

Here, I even found something that might help;


That's a crate of "hard parts" shipped to my dad's shop straight from Ed Morad. You buy the parts from him, that what it looks like.

I've got a pic of my ZZP parts list too but I'll save that until somebody asks to see it. Spent over a grand on gaskets and cam stuff for the swap.

I've even got links to the top-swap and cam guides if you wanted to just read-up.

Because honestly, that's how I learned what I know today. Reading EVERYTHING. I will sit on the computer for hours on end in the middle of the night and just research crap.

zerg, i ilke how u added that quote to ur sig.

"If..." -me haha

Also, if you do this and get a desire to hear the S/C whine before install by turning it really fast with an impact on the nose vent bolt... don't. They break. :p

*sigh* I guess I HAVE to post that pic up now don't I?




Oops! My bad. How on Earth did THOSE get here >.> <.<

In responce to UM FAN
I dont mind theyre hard on me...thay just proboly dont understand even when they explain stuff to me...im listening with open ears...im just not getting it. Im just very inexperienced with the 3800. IM here to learn...

Maybe I'll drive down to Chicago sometime.

I've got to get that 2.5" dp to 98greenGT and I'm sure we could get enough guys to set up a small "meet" somewhere. I think we need to plana "Mod day" out here in the WI-IL area.

I know it's difficult to learn this stuff. We all had to learn it at some point.

Some of the best things you can do are just stare at your engine and try to identify the pieces. It helps if you have a friend who knows cars more than you so he can yell at you for making an innocent mistake. (brings back memories of myself...)

Also, what helps is to go on a site like zzperformance or wbodystore and just look at what they sell.

When you see what people make high-end replacements for, you can understand a little more why it is done that way.

p.s. Do you work a night shift or something or do you just end up staying up late and not realizing it like me? lol

I am going to GOUGE my EYES out!!!!
