What year is your truck? I know they had a recall that delt with the head but I am not sure what the problem was

 

It's a '08 3.7 I5

 

Well good for you!

I have 70K on mine 04 and no issues yet!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

Yeah, this is a very common problem and very well-known.

 

I know thgis issue is out there, but no issue here!

 

Yeah, even fewer I4's have had this problem.

 

Well just so you know, bad valve seats do not cause a miss fire! Thats basic shit there. There is another issue!

 

If the valves don't close like they should, it will throw a misfire code.

 

Had mine done like 9 months ago. Free repair FTW!!!

threw the code in Detriot (4 hours from home) while I was there on biz. I was changing spark plugs in the Auto Zone parking lot in Det in a freakin suit before I drove to Toledo and found a Chevy Dealership. Then drove all the way home in a broke ass truck. oh well.

 

Dude, I will have to call you out here. We agree with you 99% of the time, but what happened to the L89's in the Camaros when the valve seals went bad........yup...blue smoke on start up til they were warmed up!

 

Valve SEALS is what you're talking about, not valve seats, which this thread and the 355 recall is about. Get your drunk'd ass off teh intArweb!



Ok, read above, I said the "the seal will be warped to the point that the pressure leaks around half the valve", and I meant the sealing edge of the valve seat. So I was mixing terms, but still said correct information... about valve seats.

 

Valve SEALS, not valve seats. Get your drunk'd ass off teh intArweb!

OK, your right, and I'm going for another bottle of Jack...............Time NOW!
