They have a common problem of the head bolts pulling the threads right out of the block. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional. Double J Veteran / Moderator Sep 15, 2010, 1:40 PM Post #3 of 3 (3815 views) Re: 97 cadillac deville engine swap Sign In Makes it a whole lot easier... All the guys at Cadillac always drop the powertrain/cradle and all,out the bottom to do this. More economical . But just be prepared,the head bolt threads pull out of the block,usually is the failure,not just the headgasket itself. GM has a repair procedure for this and a special thread repair kit.(requires a special tool also) They recently came out with a new enchanced repair kit for the aluminum blocks. The original repairs/kits,even when done by a qualified technician,sometimes didnt hold or last too long.Some did.
