i have an 86 cutlass with a 307 motor, and i was planning on taking apart from the top down the engine. it died on me at the end of last summer, and i am planning on doing this just out of curiousity as to why it died. but when i do find the problem area, could i simply replace the part that crapped out and put it back together? or is it just a pipe dream of mine? any help would be great, thanks.

 

How do you mean died? Exactly what happened?
