Default Piston rod?
Once it starts making noise is that it? New motor time?

I don't think there is a difference between the 2, I don't think the 3800 even went under any changes until the series 3 was designed.

No difference. You can use all the way up to an 03. Actually you can use anything below an 05 in the pontiacs or buicks that came with the 3800 non supercharged that is. Unless you plan on changing the PCM too.
