I am converting to a roller cam so i need the following,
WTB: Roller cam lifter guides and guide retainer from vin 3 buick 3.8 engine these can be found in 1986-1988 vintage Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, Buick Somerset, Buick Skylark, Buick Lesabre, Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, Oldsmobile Delta 88,Pontiac Grand Am and maybe others too.
The 8th digit in the vin has to be a "3" and the engine a 3.8 v-6

These are sometimes called Spider and Dog bones -
Lifter Guide Retainer (spider) # 25526620
Lifter Guide (dogbone) # 25526619
New would be nice but a set out of a junkyard donor will do also.
Let me know what you have and how much you gotta get for them...Dave...dsmith4994@aol.com....or PM me

The only compatible years are the 1986 through mid 1988 engine vin 8th digit has to be 3. The block changes in the lifter valley in 1989.
