Is this a common problem on the j-code engines like it is on the civy versions?
As usual, the interwebs are full of conflicting "info". Some places say it's an issue on all the 6.2/6.5 blocks. Others say the j-code valves are smaller and the military blocks have more nickle, making them less suseptible to the cracking. Is it a common issue with CUCVs?
If so, how do the girdles sold by DSG work? I've read several people on here install them but no real comparisons or even anecdotes about if they prevent the problem or not. They look easy to install, are they? Just drop the pan, remove the old bolts and install the new posts, screws and girdle or is it more complicated than that?
Thanks!
