I'm just curious about the quality of the ones from AutoZone.
Don't want any screw ups ,since I'm in it already ,for almost $800 .
New head,water pump,radiator,t-stat, gaskets etc.
As for the oiler orifice,...didn't GM update that,in later ones ?

Did you happen to do engine bearings as well? That's what happened to me, new head & head gasket, timing chain, etc. at 150K. Ended up spinning a rod bearing 5K later. I knew I had developed oil pressure issues shortly after the head swap, and decided to run it til she blew. Now doing a rebuilt short block bottom end with the new(ish) head swapped over.
I was told it was an after the fact change, not sure if they were updated or not. I have an '03.
From what I had read on another forum, the non-OE ones wear out a lot quicker. I would rather spend the money up front and not have to buy more parts (or my labor time) on the back end.
