With a smaller cam im sure its nothing to worry about i would no doubt warm the car up. its nothing to do with pistons but like you said drew, valve srpings like that, when they are cold and ran can break. ---

The early 90’s 3.3L buick/olds motor was just as good if not better than the 3.8L dont get me wrong… the car itself is a typical gm… shitty quality, pile of garbage, but the motor runs strong and gets me from A to B reliably with good heat, power everything and gets 25mpg ---

If you have to ask, you don’t want it. If the car is a really good deal, you like it, and are handy, go for it assuming the car isn’t beat. The problem is that it’s hard to work and are notoriously beaten due to the cheap availability. ---

When they are cold, dual valve springs such as mine that handle up to a .660 lift are brittle when cold. 9 times out of 10, when a valve spring breaks its because it was horsed with when they were cold/brittle. ---

The car gets a really bad rap to be honest. If it wasn’t for the difficulty in working on it (which is MUCH easier than a 3/S TT), I’d recommend it. It’s a nice sporty car for the money. ---
