Hmmm .... Chevy Vega 2.0????

The "fix" with the Vega motor has to bore & sleeve it with a cast iron liner (factory for MY's 1976 &1977) 

Wonder if that can be done with these??

You never reinstalled the hood hinge pins on an early Vega - just a matter of time before you had to change another engine....

I thought the fix for the Vega engine was to own a better car.

 

This is not the only reason modern engines are almost impossible to rebuild. Boring out the cylinders on them is very exact, as is milling the heads. You have to do it perfectly evenly on both heads. Any variations can cause the software to detect a misfire when one doesn't actually exist.
