I don't actually think the LSA out of the Cadillac recieves this treatment...the press release only makes a point to mention the LS9 and LS7 out of their respective Corvette models. And I can't find any proof elsewhere that the CTS-V's engine gets advanced bore-massage, too....

There are two ways to look at tolerances. To most people, it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to have a bore between 4.000 and 4.002" and don't really see the improvement in going down to 4.000 - 4.001. But to engineers and pro-builders, they see that as a 50% improvement, which is huge Quote:

all this means is the Price is going to "Increase"...lol..after reading this article, i am soo sure this car's MSRP will easily start in the $50,000+ range...wow...and by the way,i thought i saw where a GM rep stated this car is a track car and if so, will they warranty the Driveline if it goes Ka-Booom ??

As for warranty, why wouldn't they? So long as you haven't modified anything in the powertrain and you aren't abusing it, they sorta have to cover it .

Good to see some time is being put into the cars.
ZL1 is going to be to rich for me. Esp. if that $47,000 mark was for 1ss type options. |

The cynic in me says this "extra" is reactionary not preventative. Weren't FI engines having head gasket failures?

Reactionary? I believe this has been the process with LS9 and LSA since their introduction in 2009... I haven't heard anything about head gasket failures, either. Both have upgraded gaskets (LS9 is an upgrade above LSA, even) and LS9 also enjoys larger head bolts. Both have equally higher-quality head castings, too. Head gasket failures are something new to me...
