I hate the 3.4L GM motors.

This is the second time this happend to me last time it happend to #6 cylinder and now the #2.
Now I hear its nitorious with the 2002-03 3.4L. motors.

So as I get this fixed this car is going...

The silver stuff isn't lock tight either

Does anyone have a heli coil and installer set. I've read that retapping it wont solve the problem and that the bolt will back right out again.

Ain't that the truth!

I bought a Helicoil set, so I'm gonna mess with it later.
