Cracked cyl. heads
Type in the keywords: CRACKED CYLINDER HEAD in search box ; then click
on SEARCH.AUTOS.MAKERS.SATURN- then see how many horror stories come up! Then consider if you ever want to buy a Saturn (or another Saturn)with its worthless short term warranty. |

Big freaking deal. When I had a Chrysler product there were a goodly share
of cracked cylinder head issues too. Perhaps you would like to go back to cast iron blocks and cast steel heads (along with the weight penalty and fuel economy drop). Modern times bring modern problems.

Isn't he the one who was advocating illegal splicing of electric cords onto smoke detectors, among other things that, well, hey, are suspect? Cracked heads? Guess he's never owned an old panhead Harley. It's not that you might get a cracked head, it's you HAVE a cracked head, or both. They all cracked. Every one of them. No, not just everyone that was ridden hard, every single one. Anyway, I don't get this cracked head stuff. I've had an SC2 for like 11 years now, and it's still fine after 233,000 miles. *shrug*. Io feel cheated now - I didn't get the cracked cylinder head he says I'm entitled to |

His spliced-on power cord to a hard-wired smoke detector has been running fine for 5 years. Mine still works fine. Still waiting for you to cite the law that says it's "illegal" > Cracked heads?

(misterfact) typed until their fingers bled, and
came up with: > > Heh- you're the guy that got that one cylinder head that didn't have > a casting flaw in it! SOME '95-'96 SOHC engines had a casting flaw. Saturn extended the warrenty on those heads to 6yr/100k miles. My '95 never had a problem in the 109k miles I had that engine in my car, and it hasn't had a problem in the 3k my friend has driven that head since I replaced hers that did have the flaw at 129k miles. My wife's '96 hasn't shown any problems at 88k. -- Visit the Saturn Performance Club - http://www.saturnperformanceclub.com |

All I can tell you you is some guy at Saturn customer service told me this on the phone- but I didn't get his name. Anyone who wants to argue this point- I'm open to your number. |
