Stupid GM Features (was GM hates Italian Cars)

["Al Marrin" <amarrin@ufl.edu>]

Here's another "feature" of GM cars.  A friend owns a GMC Jimmy.  Couple years back, 
he blew a head gasket and got some water in the oil.  He talked to several shops 
(both dealers and independents) and was told be every one that the GM V6 is not 
re-buildable, that he would have to replace the engine with a brand new one.  And 
no, they weren't just taking him for a ride.  Someone here at work has a buddy 
that's service manager with a local dealer who confirmed that they don't rebuild 
them.  Leave it to GM to design a throw-away engine.
