Well I'm going to go ahead and do it. The new rings are being installed in my C5. I hope she comes out in one piece.

I wonder how long it will takeand how much crap you had to put up
with to get GM to authorize the ring job.

GM's position on my car is the oil consumption does not effect the way it drives
and they don't plan on doing anything.

It will be very interestig to see how your car performs after the ring job.
