This is why I hate being an auto mechanic

Inside the red circle is a crank journal. There is supposed to be a con rod attached to that!!! Also the hole in the motor is not usually there!!!!

been there dun that moved to deisel much easier just heavier. Hey wait till you got to change out a 3.4 x motor in a grand prix it's priceless. The 3800's really aren't that bad though you'll be surprised hopefully lol

It's not the worst thing I have ever done. It just sucks that it's my first weekend off of the second job in 2 months and I have to spend it working on my brothers car AND NOT GET PAID FOR IT!!!!!!!!

Oh and Rocco, CALL HIM! I would be more than happy too. Just have to convince my brother to buy a new car!
