Re: Worst nightmare, 3.1L-V6 locked up, help
The 2.8, 3.1 and 3.4 all have pretty much the same head. Aluminum with pressed-in valve seats. I have handled thousands of these heads in the past several years and have seen many with broken valve seats and the combustion chamber and piston chewed up by the pieces bouncing around in the cylinder. I have also seen the blocks with broken camshafts. These blocks are often junked out because of the cam bore.
Where I work we are throwing the heads away because of overstock from the blocks junking out.
