For as much as these engines have issues, speaking from personal experience at least these are pretty easy to work on, I just rebuilt my 3.0 engine and didn’t even have to remove it from the car or remove any body or frame parts
Hello, still working on the editing skills lol, sorry about that. Your very welcome if you haven’t watched the V6 tips video and the pcv mod check those out too they go along with this video. Thanks for the comment and watching.
angel i gotta saab 2006 aero i call it a crown hawk ya know the saab loggo. its a ragtop with the 2.8 v6 227 k klics. running okay i changed the sparkplugs successfully and removed some rubber from the hood to let the engine disapate the heat. i hear the rear pvc valve causes alot of buildup in the rear rocker cover . does the rear pvc just snap into the rocker cover? like the front one ?im thinking of popping it out and forget about evapoative stuff. buddy you do stuff a heart surgeon would admire. senior from alberta
Hello I did something wrong I put the left vvt spocket in the left hand and thr right vvt in the right hand too, I got this code only P0016 but engine its pretty good idle stable too any symtom for this code? I bought this car with all 3 streched chains and all 4 vvt damaged now engine feels and sound better im not sure if I have to switch the vvt intake sprocket to engine improve more. I will really appreciate any advice.
I would suggest you swap those over. You can do this by just removing the two top covers, no need to get back all the way down to the crank shaft. There are special tools that allow you to replace vvt sprockets only. Look for videos of this.
I rarely ever do any side work and when I do it’s for close friends or family. If I did this it would be 1,500 to 1,800. If you find a shop willing to do it or go the dealership it’s gonna be a lot more. Many shops remove the entire subframe but you really don’t have too but all that adds time and cost as well.

Definitely agree, most of the serviceable items are easily accessible.
Cannot hear you over the music from 26:00 to 28:00. Excellent vid otherwise especially since I'll be doing this soon. Thanks for posting up this.

I will always prefer the older series one or two 3.8 L GM's newer engines do not hod a candle to the older ones.....
Totally agree they were way better.

Take a look at this video.

Angel…wondering what you charge for the timing change job on the 3.6?

@@angelsautomotivediythat's just labor right?
so i popped the pvc and gonna let it breathe to atmosphere
I wouldn’t recommend that because it’s got a massive vacuum leak now and it’s gonna give you a check engine light and leak oil.
Another thing too this motor is turbocharged right? You can’t just leave it out will cause tons of issue’s and wreck your engine.
