No....the worst engine chevy made was the HT4100 that went into Cadillac's.
It used long stus with nuts on either end, these studs held down the cylinder head from one end. and the main bearing caps at the other!
Basically, anyone with one that took it to service got the same question regardless of what was wrong with it....."do you want another one of these or do you want us to put in a real engine?"
