The net, books, mags, etc. are full of such articles if you would do a little research. This site is aimed at turboBuick specific information-not general mechanics. Go to the bookstore and buy a few books that cover the generalities. 
Spend a few bucks on the shop manual cd. It covers 99% of your questions. | It is precisely because this forum is dedicated to turbobuicks that I am suggesting this. I have the shop manuals but, as you know, they are written for Buick mechanics. They contain just enough info to get the novice in trouble. The gnttype website is so time-honored because it has tech info and, most importantly, how to articles.
I am suggesting something written for us novices. More importantly, it would provide a forum for detailed suggestions and ideas and, unlike gnttype, it could include pictures. The articles that Mike and others have written in the sticky section are great and the pictures are invaluable. I know for you experienced guys this seems like a tedious idea, but the truth is most of the guys who use this forum would read the how to articles and use the info. We could start with an article by Steve and Ed entitled "How to rebuild your front suspension and live to talk about it."
