Hey everyone...ive heard different stories form people and their views on the 3.3L engine. I heard itll blow up it sucks...then i heard people say its solid as a rock and everything...now i got a 91 buick skylark and i got a full cold air intake system on it and i just put the new bosh iridium plugs...nwo i do notice a difference and i love the car...the car has 100400 miles but its still running solid the only prob i got with it is the window frame..the window wont go down,lmao. but im not worried about that...so what do you guys think of the 3.3l gm engine?

One of my friends has a '93 Century with the 3.3 The car was poorly cared for through the years, but I must say that the motor sounds and performs very, very well. It's hard to say if the motor was taken care of by the previous owner(s) but it now has over 170k on the odo and it's still running strong for her. I recently flushed and refilled the cooling system in this car and I test drove it around the city for about 15 minutes to check for leaks later on, and it had excellant acceleration, smooth idle, and it ran very quiet. I might add that the engine is also much more powerful than chrysler's "early" 3.3 (during the late 80's and earlier to mid 90's when both were produced) BTW, I've yet to see ANY motor, new or old, blow up;)
