GM switched to an aluminum castings in the newer cars. That should probably tell us a lot.

Update for the non-GH folks.... I'm going to tear it down next weekend. Yes, I'm very frustrated as to why this keeps happening, but at the same time I'm intrigued.
At this point (without tearing into the latest failure), the common theme is the Felpro UIM gasket. It'* what caused me to do the last swap, and from what I can tell thus far, what'* prompting me to do this swap.
For now, I'm going to pass on the Bars-Leak. I've always been very nervous about using additives/"mechanic-in-a-bottle". Nothing against the suggestions, but I'm going get right into it to find out the mechanical failure.

It is a possibility that I reassembled it wrong. I've made one mistake before.
Seriously, though, I'm really thinking the Felpro UIM gasket is to blame....
