Is anyone aware of a GM TSB for using Time-Sert aluminum bolts when replacing the gaskets for the cylinder heads?

I need this information to support a Warranty Claim for my car.

The service manager at the dealer believes that there is a GM TSB that recommends the use of Time-Serts in this situation. Unfortunately, the dealership has NOT been able to find a GM TSB that documents this recommendation.

I would appreciate any help and assistance in tracking down this GM TSB. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I looked at alldata here: http://www.alldata.com/TSB/43/954330EP.html and they had nothing that sounded even close to that.

Just out of curiouslity what is a time-sert aluminum bolt?

what year?

I am looking for TSBs for a 1996 Aurora that support the use of Time-Sert bolts with the cylinder heads.

Sorry, I don't have a subscription to be able to access the whole TSB. Hopefully the dealer can find it given this information.

Correct! I'm faced with the same situation and have been in e-mail contact with a forum member who did this job himself. He welcomes questions and can e-mail you great pictures of the process. Reach him at; larryhe@hotmail.com.
