I posted my findings... I'll hear anyone out other than that bigot Korman as to their "own" search findings. I however have never "seen" a case of a cracked Saturn head even though I've been around enough of them.
As of now I've re-added Korman to my usenet filter (lost from reinstall). I sugest anyone here that is new to the group to do the same. Dont live life in the bowels of hate and rage. Live a happy healthy life and dont let the little things in life naw at you or you might become a raging lunatic usenet troll like Mr.Korman.
Have a nice day everyone! :)
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 :(
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"
Sounds like all the engineers at Harley- went over to Saturn!
Heh- you're the guy that got that one cylinder head that didn't have a casting flaw in it!
snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com (misterfact) typed until their fingers bled, and came up with:
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.
more like 100,000 of 'em. 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.
snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com (misterfact) typed until their fingers bled, and came up with:
which is not ALL of the '95 - '96 SOHC engines, and sure as hell not the "all Saturn engines" that you first posted.
