they are not soo bad. the 00 block seems to be the best, but with an older head, because its ports are so tiny. pistons are complete crap. they dont like anything over 180 horsies. not too many people push the limits of the rods, but some have done 300 horsies on factory rods with forged pistons. headgasket is good for over 400 horse. thats about where the "big guys" in the saturn world are. the head is pretty good in stock trim, not too much out there except for full race turbo cams. and those are custom units.

btw, the saturn this post is about dynoed like 114 horse. its an all stock motor with 240K miles, and burns oil like a champ. fuel management is a 255lph in line fuel pump, and a fpr i believe. also running 94 octane. thats it, so its destined to blow in about 4 minutes. the whole build of the car was under $400 including the car itself.
