I have to drag them out by the ear into the field and show them how stupid they are sometimes.

Northstar engine, not as bad as you'd think. They seldom go bad since warm and dry location.
Beats laying on back under oily engine dropping exhaust for sure. Now the crossover gaskets are a total bitch to change at 3 hrs plus. |

Not a gasket issue... Fine thread head bolts into porous alum block issue. Went away mostly in 2000 with redesign. The 1st attempt to fix by GM was a timesert and those failed also. Second timeserts worked along with normserts and studs sold by a Canadian guy(expesive though). I've done a couple engines on these and they have a shitload of pieces to them. Worse than HG is half case leak and early rear seal one piece designs. Those cost more than HG to fix. |

I'm in building automation systems and been doing it since '79...and yes, field work is essential in our lives.
