Talking to a fella today who runs an engine reman shop, was saying that almost every one he's torn down has loose cylinder liners. Anyone heard about this???? GM says this is one of the most tested and toughest engines they have................. stuuder

There is a problem with the cylinder liners coming loose and/or cracking. We haven't actually had one do this in our shop yet, but apparently, there are something like 2000 vehicles across Canada that may need new engines as a result.
You don't actually believe what GM says about it's own engines, do you? Thank goodness that they are wrong about how good their stuff is, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep busy fixing all their f**k ups.

how many 2.4 water pumps do you get, just out of curiosity?
yes, i have one, and yes, i do leak coolant. crossing fingers hoping it's a hose.

We used to do a ton of them. But they seem to have improved the water pump in the later models. For your sake...I hope it's a hose too. Doing a water pump on a
2.4 engine is a major task.Ian
Found this at Alldata as well, thanks for all the info folks. Stuuder
