OK. So you said the engine is the 3800 3.1L. Well, that is 2 different engines.
Is it the 3.1L or the 3.8L ?
You must have the 3.1L, 3100 V6.
So, if you are asking how to get to the lifters, then you need to take off the intake manifold to get to them. They are down in the valley just like most engines. Remove the upper intake manifold, valve covers, loosen the rockers, remove the pushrods and then remove the black plastic lifter guides. See the picture with intake manifold removed...
