Default Fixing my sisters Buick

The 3.4 decided to reject some bearing or somthing



^Video^

So we picked up a junk yard motor with 115k, 4k less than it has


3hrs or so hours working on it tonight

Drained all fluids, un jumbled the wiring harness from engine/ect, removed a few things, close to dropping the sub frame

start small and work your way to it, can't learn if you don't try! This is how I learn and I love it!
