I'm pretty sure it was not, but you know, that might be more likely than anything else at this point, which is very helpful.
Interesting to see the mentions about HG repairs succeeding but not for long, which might be my situation. In doing my repair, I TimeSerted all the block threads, but it sure seemed that Aluminum cut like butter - seemed very soft and weak, even though it held the torque when installing the head.
I know the ATF thermostat at the bottom of the expansion tank came apart in pieces, and that is a definite problem, getting replaced along with the coolant thermostat (which I don't think is an actual problem, other than the DME code).
When the new parts come in, I plan to test everything again, really hoping to not have to do another HG. If so, and it was a TimeSert or two that failed, maybe I'll need to BigSert them. Not looking forward to any of this.
