It's funny i have done a few head gaskets on tb42,s in the past various k's 250 350 and 400 The bores all looked perfect no lip i was surprised.
Pulled down quite a few chevs holden v8's with less k's and seen lips on one half of the bore that deep it wasn't funny.
Tb42 over gm junk any day i say.
Another thing i notice is that their are always gm junk patrols for sale seems like they fit one waste a lot of money spoil a good reliable car and can't wait to flog it off.
