Other Saturn Owners Speak Out About Their Saturn SOHC Cylinder Head Experiences.

The quest for answers why my 1997 Saturn SC1 decided to crack it's cylinder head at only 76,000 miles doesn't start and end with me.

There are multitudes of other Saturn vehicle owners of all S series Saturn cars with Single Overhead Cams between the years of 1995 to 1999 that are experiencing the same problem as myself.

We all experience the same thing, an overheat makes you notice a loss of oil into the coolant, it creates the "Chocolate Milkshake" overflow into the radiator's surge tank. The only course of action is to replace the cylinder head.

Here is a link to Automotivehelper.com where another Saturn S-Series owner is having the very problem.

Carsurvey.org has a rather lengthy section devoted to Saturn S-series owners having a myriad of problems. The one that rears it's ugly head the most is the Cracked Cylinder head, complete with "Chocolate Milkshake" coolant.

Answerbag.com has an answer from a former Saturn technician explaining the DEFECT in the casting of the SOHC cylinder head causing the head cracks.

If you check the forums over at Saturnfans.com (the largest saturn owner's community on the internet) You'll see the Cracked Cylinder head on SOHC 1.9L Saturn Engines is a commonly addressed topic.

All of these complaints, all of this commotion, and a recognized manufacturing mistake and yet the Saturn Corporation, and The General Motors Corporation have done absolutely nothing to help their owners solve this problem created by an obvious manufacturing error.
