The overall design of the lifter being in the rocker arm is poor, as well as there being a known issue with poor oli circulation. Usualy the passengers side rear lifters go bad around 100K sooner if regular oil changes are left aside.
I am personaly looking to use annother GM motor that doesn't have these design flaws. Possibly a 3800. See the question above. (Mine) looking for a direct donor. Every rodeo/passport I know of ticks if it's it got the V6.(3.1 or 3.2)
