    Thanks for the info. I'm going to be traveling to Ohio that week, and that helps me to make plans. I hope to be there.

    Woodward Dream Cruise 2023

    Is any GN owners set to meet up before the Dream Cruise in Detroit this year? If so, when and where. I'd like to attend.

    Buick Grand National in Enchanted Lake Neighborhood

    Yes, it's in Kailua, on Paako street. I haven't seen the other car there when I went by, so I haven't talked to them yet. I do have a catalog where I could get fenders, doors, hood, trunk lid, etc., but I don't know a body shop that could do the restoration. BTW, I have an completely...

    Buick Grand National in Enchanted Lake Neighborhood

    It is sad. I'm going to have to stop by there sometime and get the story from the owners. I just hate seeing it waste away.

    Buick Grand National in Enchanted Lake Neighborhood

    I have found this Buick Grand National rotting away in a driveway in Enchanted Lake Area. I'm think of knocking on the door and asking if they would like someone to take away the junk car off their hands. Is there a body shop on island that could handle a restoration like this. I feel I can...

    Turbo Buick Mechanic Nr Salem, OR

    Roger that, Dynalow00 and NOONG. Thanks for the tip. I didn't know about GNNORTHWEST.com That's a bit farther than I had hoped, but I want someone knowledgeable with GNs to do the work. I live in Hawaii and don't want ask my brother in-law to take it all the way up past Seattle. I'm...

    Turbo Buick Mechanic Nr Salem, OR

    Is there a good mechanic or repair shop in or near Salem, OR? I'm storing my GN at my brother in-law's and it looks like oil is seeping from near the rear of the engine, probably the rear main seal. I don't live there, and he doesn't know a good mechanic, so I wonder if someone out there...

    Changing out Spark Plug #6

    Aha, I got it. Just call me the dragon slayer! :biggrin: On Sunday, I got with a friend and we tried to pull the plug wire again. We still couldn't get it, so I was going to throw in the towel and take it to Pep Boys or Firestone to have them just change 1 plug and wire. Tonight, I...

    Changing out Spark Plug #6

    Yeah, I was thinking about that. I am replacing the spark plug wires along with the spark plugs. My concern is getting the spark plug out with the boot and heat shield still attached.

    Changing out Spark Plug #6

    I have a 2002 GTP with the 3800 supercharged V-6. I am 5/6 of the way complete on it's 100k mile tune-up. However, I can't get the boot/heat shield off the #6 spark plug. I have tried rocking the engine forward, but there is an O2 sensor right behind the spark plug that keeps getting in the...

    Fel-Pro PermaDry Plus Valve Cover Gaskets?

    LOL. If I wait long enough, somebody will offer to pay me for them to do it! :) Actually, my trainer from the gym is a big GM fanatic and he offered to help me do it. He doesn't have experience with GNs per say, but I trust his opinion. He thinks we'll have to undo the hoses to the...

    Fel-Pro PermaDry Plus Valve Cover Gaskets?

    After 21 years, my beloved GN is seeping oil out of the back of the valve cover gaskets. Did I hear someone say the Mobil I synthetic oil will cause problems with cork gaskets? Anyway, my mechanic wants to use Fel-Pro PermaDry Plus rubber gaskets with a metal insert? He said that these would...
