Two problems related to engine head gasket failure have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Venture. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Driving down the highway my van over heated and stalled with no prior warning. I had to replace my head gaskets, lower intake, all my spark plugs and spark plug wires. I had no leaks that I was aware of. Nothing on the gorund to even suspect a leak. Apparently I was leaking so bad internally that 2 of my spark plugs crapped out and my van refused to run. From what I read this is a fairly common complaint among Venture owners. I really love my van but this flaw will prevent me from buying another one, which I fully intended on doing in a few year. Sorry gm but I'll go with a Honda next time.
The engine's head gasket failed on 2 separate occasions. He second time this occurred it destroyed the engine.
