What I don't understand is how both would fall off at exactly the same time. Talk about a serious design flaw.
The old Chevy S10 Blazers with the 2.8L were junk as well. They all had oil pump problems. There's not a better sound than a camshaft breaking because the oil pump quit working on ya.
4.3's weren't bad though.

hrm, i'd have to disagree a little bit about the s10's. granted the 4.3 is an infinitely better motor, but the 2.8's gm were using during the mid 80's were alright. my first car was an 86 celebrity, and i tried _so hard_ to make that car just plain not work anymore, and it wouldn't. it ran with oil, without oil, everything. i even went for about a year without even opening the hood.. and over 13,000 miles without changing the oil.
it wasn't the _best_ running car with the most power, but it always started, and it at least ran. the exterior looked like shit (from hitting it with things and rust), but the interior was perfect.
pretty much the same i've seen with the blazers from auto shops and friends, the 2.8 always ran pretty good.
