there is no reason for a head gasket to go bad at such a low mileage (83000) and it was not only bad but it completely cut out about 3/4 of an inch of the fire ring.

it was a pain in da ass. i have oil in my radiator.

After spending money to repair intake manifolds, and the a/c which GM did not acknowledge, costing approx $2,000.00, it was discovered that I now had a cracked cylinder head. and they had to be replace. GM does not want to assume any liability.
