Hey I'm new to this forum but I have been part of the Cadillac Owners forum for a couple of years and it has helped me a ton so I hope to get the same helpful info here for my Alero.

I have inherited my parents '01 Alero GL2 3.4 V6 130,000. I was looking at it for them because they were having some trouble. It seems it has the failed intake manifold gasket. It is leaking coolant on the outside of the engine and the inside with the white gunk under the oil cap. So I know it need a total overhaul and I am very mechanically inclined so I'm going to fix it myself. I have built engines in the past but always with the help of books such as "how to rebuild your small block chevy" with such valueble info such as torque specs, piston rings orientations, bolt patters, etc.

My question is does anybody know of any publication on the guidance to rebuild these chevy 60deg V6's other than the original service manual?

I would greatly appreciate any info on this to help me bring my Alero back to life.
