Still a good thread to have to have on the fourm. Do you realize how common of a problem this is on the 60 degree V6's??? Very Very common. They are notorious for this. Almost like clock work 70-90K miles you can almost just plan on having it done. Why I stay the crud away from those enignes and tell everyone else too also. GM should have been made to recall all of those and redesign something. So depending on how many miles on this vehicle Cz, you may have done it for the 2nd time. Which also explains Leo mentioning the botched job in the past.
What kind of Cam do you have BB. It takes good pics. I have a cheaper Kodak that does well, my dad has an expensive Kodak that I think takes crud pics inside using the flash, but gorgeous pics if outside if flash is not needed.

Bar's stop leak seems to cure it for now. The good news for me is it wasnt my fix that was leaking.

most of them do!

This is the second time already I think my FIL said they had it done 2yrs ago. So hope fully my job works a little longer.

Do, meaning the front timing cover is part of the coolant passages?

BB? did he post a pic that I am not aware of?

In some cases it is. Not always. Not real sure on this one.

That's why I am confused I didn't want to answer the camera question if it was meant for you.

This is EXACTLY what I have.

And I've got an old HP M407 that came with a printer I bought a few years ago. Resold the printer on eBay for almost what I paid for it, so the camera was pretty much a freebie.
