Get yourself one of these... I get one for every car I buy

Haynes Repair Manual for '85 to '98 Grand Am

Haynes Repair Manual for '99 to '03 Grand Am

Not sure what year yours is, but I would guess '99 to '03. These manuals are pretty good and are usually less then $20 at most part stores.

Thanks for the tip on the gasket.
