    Newbie from Detroit. Just got my first Grand Prix... Unfortunately it's an 01' SE. But I'm looking forward to making a lot of mods especially with the summer coming up. Any help around.?

    and yes for a late model car that is a long time but my 81 chevy pickup has over 550,000 miles on the original block. has only been rebuilt once at 82,000 miles when my dad stroked it to a 383 from a 350.

    GM does it again. their cars are the only i know of so far that have any type of long life expectancy.

    lol just a little bit. he bought it with 575,000 miles. also, i found out whats wrong with the gp. i left the valves in the head when i cleaned it and i poured cleaner into the intake ports. two of them no cleaner came out(good valves) the third one, all the cleaner poured out. and if you know anything about engine valves, you would know that there is supposed to be an air tight seal between the valve and the valve seal. which means that the cleaner shouldnt have poured out from the valve. which in turn means that my valve is bad.
