96 3100 Rods

[94GPGTP]

well i was talking with taylor and he made a good point.. i unfortunatly didnt put any markings on the heads.. he told me since i didnt they could possibly swap them with bad ones and try to sucker me into buying heads through them which in general gets them more money.. and making the whole thing up.. well the only positive side i have is that one head has 2 heli coils in it and the other well i dont know..

When i get them back tomorrow i am going to get pics of the "cracks" and post em up..

ForcedFirebird Give me some more info on the heads you have..

Well today brought the heads from this motor to the machine shop to get the head job done... also i brought the piston that had the bent rod and a replacement rod for them to press out and swap.. well they claim that when pressing out the rod that the piston will be destroyed by it mushrooming by the wristpin.. I dont know if they r telling me the truth or not..

I get a call about 4 hours later they tell me both of my heads are cracked.. one is near a spark plug and the other is cracked in between the combustion chamber... So basically these heads are junk...

Now im in need of 2 heads... This is pissing me off b/c i have a bent rod, bad cam, bad timing set, Bad heads.... This makes me confused because the motor ran smooth and no problems with it.. I think this is a bad build to begin with...

Take the heads somewhere else and get a second opinion.

If you need some good cores, I have a set :P


EDIT: Actually I can give you a rebuilt set if you want.

Yep. I didn't get it out until this morning, though. 2 day priority it should be there Thurs/Fri. It was $15 to ship.

Yes it's in good shape. I bought two 3500's about the same time and I can't remember which had what, but one was 22k miles and the other had 32k. Both were from '04 Malibu's.

I'll send a PM.

[94GPGTP]

ok cool. just making sure..

ForcedFirebird PM me.. thanks

Its the angle of the camera. They are all the same size.

[94GPGTP]

So the thrigger from the 3500 can be included. I don't need them. 94GPGTP, is $30 plus shipping fair?

yes sounds fair.. the only thing i ask... look in the picture of the 3 cams next to each other... i think its the angle of the camera but the way the cams look it lokks as if going to the right the cams get smaller?? i need a second opnion.. also the cam is in good condiotn.. able to run it?? pm me where i can send paypal payment

[ForcedFirebird]

Yes. Worse case would be to replace the sensor with one that matches the trigger...

so i guess they are different... what do i do now??? its knida hard to find a cam... do they make oversize cam bearings?? i havent found any at the local parts store.. maybe someone out there knows if they do ir not..

This has been discussed many times. The pickup is different, by the sensor still picks up the leading edge, which is in the axact same location between all 3 designs.

So it will work, right Brad?
