3.1s dont blow up dude. if it overheats bad you’ll warp the aluminum heads and have blowby but thats with anything aluminum. the rods are forged and good luck snapping the crank NA. I have seen many 200k + running 15 psi regularly. ---

I have seen many 200k + running 15 psi regularly. rods are not forged they are powdered metal weak oil pumps bad intake gaskets are very common but if ya keep them cool and change the oil and no intake leaks they are a good motor oh yeah and cranks arent all that stout ive busted 3 of them in my old z24 and bereta ---

If you dont mind me asking, howd you break 3 cranks. boost? ahem, as quoted from [V6Z24.com](http://V6Z24.com) What is the difference between the turbo 3.1 and the NA 3.1? 1. Only internal difference is the Crank. It is hardened, but still cast like the NA 3.1 2. Deck height heigher to reduce compression ratio by .1 from 8.9 to 8.9(type-o on page) 3. Bigger Injectors 4. Upper intake (plenum) has hole for IAT, no hole for brake booster, and says “Turbo” on it 5. Rear Manifold is different no mention of different rods, or oil pump… only of the cranks… please post your sources. ---

My friends dad bought a '94 Corsica parts car with a 3.1 and drove it around the driveway at his shop a bit and we didnt notice until later that the car only had half an oil pan and no oil in it. My dad’s '97 Cutlass Supreme has a 3.1 and it sounds like a diesel when he starts it but it runs ok with 84k. The intake gaskets went bad somewhere around 60k though.
