Hi All,

I was told recently, that I have no experience with (and therefore, no knowledge of) these engines.

At this point, I need the answer to only one question.

In which of it's many incarnations were flat tappets (lifters) replaced with rollers?

Regards, Norm

I beleive it was the revision JUST after mine. I've still got tappets under my valve covers, and I have a vin "3" 3.8L. The engine that came JUST before the series 1 3800. Mine is a 1988, although I know these cars came with my motor back in '86.

answer to your question:

Series 1 3800. or Vin "C" motor.

Hi 88delta88, ALL


Thanks for the help. I was hoping for a different answer. Looks like I have to keep digging.

This is the first time I've ever known "Google" to be of such little help.

Regards, Norm

Haha, I've run into problems before with Google....

I'll look at ALLDATA...see what it has to say.
