OK, so its the 1st update of the old fireball engine,after it was moved to the front wheel drive. Does my vin code have anything in it I can use to find out what I have or is this all I need to know to have my cam ground? :?

The 8th VIN digit tells the engine.

Ok, let's solve this once and for all. Go outside, pop your hood, and tell us how many valve cover bolts you have.

3 bolts in the middle - LG3
6 bolts around the perimeter - LN3

or take a pic and we can tell you ;)

6 bolts, 2 on top and 4 across the bottom. LN3?

I have made mention of this in another thread..........

Vin 1G2HY54C 3800 LN3

Vin 1G2HY543 3.8 LG3


In 99.999999999999999% of the SSE's you'll have the LN3
