Consumer Description

THE ENGINE HAS COOLANT LEAK AT HEAD. GM IS AWARE THAT THE ENGINES WERE MADE WITH FAULTY HEADS BY A COMPANY CALLED CASTEC THAT ARE PRONE TO FAILURE IN THE OIL RETURN PORTS. THEY HAVE A BULLETIN BUT ARE UNWILLING TO ASSUME ANY RESPONSIBILITY. THIS REPAIR IS SO COSTLY THAT A COMPLETE ENGINE REPLACEMENT IS MORE FEASIBLE. THE AVERAGE TIME OF THIS REPAIR SEEMS TO BE ONLY 100,000 MILES. *TR
