I just finished a head gasket change on the 3800 from my '02 GP, did the LIM and a new plenum and gasket. thought I had a vaccum leak because of sputtering, checked that out with som carb cleaner, everything is good in that aspect. just took it down the road and it pops and sputters, any ideas:th_scratchhead: ? thought maybe valve lash? Haynes manual said to torque to specs. is it possible the rods are not seated properly, I can't see how though.:confused:.
It seems simple and please correct me if I wrong:
torque the head
put the rod guide in
insert the rods in same place they were in
torque the rocker arms (in the same place they were in) to spec
:th_depressed:
any ideas?
I need some help guys!!
 


just got it fixed, as usual the easy things are what I over look.
problem: loose spark plug wire! (I'm an idiot)
thanks for looking though
