hey guys just got done doing my valve cover gaskets and low and behold my intake gasket is blown too anyone know what i will need by way of tools and part to replace it i found i needed a new egr gasket when i did the valves that i wasent planning on i just dont want to get caught off guard also the haynes manuel im using kinda sucks i got a 96 3.8 convertible. im working with a very basic like 200 piece craftsman tool set basic mechanic any help would be appreciated

 

if i remember right the intake bolts are all 10mm.. The basic tool kit with metric will get the job done..

 

I think everything comes with the intake kit. There is a plastic elbow you want to replace some of the kits come with them some don't If your kit does not have one you can get one from the "Help!" section in most parts stores.

Do you have a manual for the torgue specs? there is one hidden bolt.

 

thank you guys again i saw the other post a littile deeper in the forums im just waiting now for me and my buddie to get the same day off and were gonna get it done. am i giong to need to get a new egr gasket again as i just reokaced it doing the valve covers and does anyone have an exploded view of the 3800 s2 i cant find it anywhere thats half way decent. thanks again guys

 

Did you get a copy of the part manual from the sticky? Best exploded view I have seen.

 

so my interior lights my drivers side window and the power locks all went out at once for the car i am trying to figure out how to find what the problem is. I went and bought a tester for 20 bucks at walmart i have no idea how to use the thing also. im tryin to figure out what the resistance and voltage should be to the wires. is there a diagram for that also that lists what they should be as this is the only way i can think of finding the problem. i already checked all the fuses and replaced them i know it was overkill but i wanted to completly eliminate it. so when i turn the key it clicks 3 times. when i press one of the buttons for the locks I hear a clicking which i believe is the relay but nothing happens. the interior light do not turn on when i set the switch to on or open the doors. any ideas would be greatly appreciated and ty again gorn u are the all knowing camaro master lol

 

I hope you get everything situated, Thats a nice looking camaro. Normally Im not into verts, but yours is great.

 

thanks i really appreciate it when i got her she needed a lot of love. she was running well so i went bought all new body pieces and the rs kit and had her completly repainted i had a good friend do it for real cheap luckly that what he does normally at the dealership so mats and a few cases of beer and i was gtg

 

Where would I find "the sticky"? I've done a search and can't seem to find an exploded view on any of the threads. Thanks in advance!

 

Forgot to mention: I'm new to the forum. Any help would be much appreciated.
