Need help putting my engine back to geather.
Well, I decided that I needed new head gaskets because i was loosing oil and coolant, turns out that I indeed needed the new head gaskets. Now I have my entire engine torn apart and I am not 100% on where everything goes. Are there any tips on putting the engine back together from the block up? Can someone post some detailed pics of a v6 engine setup? Also if anyone is near me (Grand Rapids Michigan) wanna come over and bust some knuckles? Thanks.

While I have never put a v6 together....run out and get yourself a repair manual for the car. A Chilton or Haynes will work. Should be able to find one at Autozone or Advanced Auto. If you could wait till monday, I may be able to make it down that way to lend a hand.

I'll run to autozone and pick up a book on it. I will keep working on it Sunday, I am pretty sure I will still need quite a bit of help come Monday, so it would be very appreciated if you would come down and help me out a bit.

Hey any help that I can get with someone that has basic knowledge of how an engine is assembled would be of great value to putting the car back together.
