The 4.0 Aurora V8, essentially a modified Northstar V8, comes with the dreaded headgasket (headbolt) issue. Having this car be a "bottom breather" with an engine that would basically warp when it got too hot was a stupid move. My family owned 3 of these and all 3 suffered the same fate. Horrible design choices.

Cons: dreaded headgasket issue, engine warped when hot
GM iron duke and pushrod 2.2. Underwhelming? I can attest to that. Had the 2.2L 118HP 4-cylinder engine in my first car. fan bearings decided to give up one day on the highway. Head gasket job twice in 85,000 miles.
Cons: fan bearings failure, head gasket issues

Chevrolet
