3800 V-6 intake |
|
|
I know the 3800 series 2 engines had a lot of problems with the intake
leaking but what about the series one?
I have a 94 regal with the series one and was just wondering if these
engines were prone to the same problem?

I believe that the series 2 problems centered around the use of a composite
material intake manifold. Series 1 did not have that.

The series 1 did not suffer the same problems because the EGR
tubes enter the upper plenum differently, that said, the series 1
do sometimes suffer coolant leaks from warping where the throttle
body bolts on.

Some of the Series 1 engines do use an upper composite intake
plenum...but as another poster pointed out, the difference is how
the EGR gases are plumbed into the upper plenum.

Ummm, hate to tell you this but, all of those are for a different

The OP was asking about a 94 Buick built 3.8... |

Have a look at the upper intake. If it is aluminum intake than you will not
have an intake problem. I had a 1993 that have an aluminum intake, the only
problem I had is a small leak between intake and throttle assembly that is
easy to fix as another post already pointed out here.
