They know it's their engineering screw-up (cylinders were not bored correctly) and just like Ford and their exploding Pinto, it will cost too much to recall and replace, so they only will deal with replacing the small blocks in the cars whose owners threaten to file another CA lawsuit.
Next steps for me since SoA refuses to address this issue? I'll let my attorney inform them of the THIRD lawsuit they will be involved in.
