Yay! Manifold gasket popped on me this morning!
As soon as I pour water into the rad, it comes out the side of me engine!
Didn't have any hesitation issues or anything... Though, it started missing on the way home (had about 1/4 mile left to go).
I wonder WTF the mechanics were smoking when they put the new engine in, lol.

Where did the 'new' engine come from? I would demand a GM Goodwrench unit.

It doesn't say anywhere, where it came from... But I'm going to get the damn thing towed there (Yay roadside assistance!) and get them to do that crap right this time!

According to the service dude, it's a Goodwrench engine...
