Please discard PIP5095. The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in this PI. Condition/Concern Some customers may complain of an SES light with misfire codes or possible oil or coolant leak. Recommendation/Instructions On inspection you may find coolant or oil in a spark plug tube. Determine if the oil or coolant is coming from the spark plug tube and not leaking into it from above. If the Spark Plug Tube is leaking replace the Cylinder Head, spark plug and coil. These leaks are caused by porous spots in the head created during manufacturing. The spark plug tubes are permanently sealed into the head and are not replaceable. If you replace a cylinder head for this concern, mark the faulty spark plug tube before sending the head in for warranty or core so GM Engineering or the remanufacturing facility will know where the concern was. Warranty Information For vehicles repaired under warranty use: 1 Labor Operation Description Labor Time J0510 Cylinder Head Replacement - Right Side Use Published Labor Operation Time J0511 Cylinder Head Replacement - Left Side Use Published Labor Operation Time ADDITIONAL SI KEYWORDS: P0300 P0301 P0302 P0303 P0304 P0305 P0306 Please follow this diagnostic or repair process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed. GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information. WE SUPPORT VOLUNTARY TECHNICIAN CERTIFICATION 2
