They changed the pitch in 2000. They also changed the thread pitch in 2000. Between both things, the head gaskets from 2000 model years and on are at least average, but still may have issues occasionally at higher mileages.

In 2004, they started using some longer bolts, I believe from the LS6. These engines are as bulletproof as any other on the market.

The '97-'99s used an unfavorable thread pitch, and shipped from the factory with Dexcool, which is corrosive by nature. Since Cadillac recommended Dexcool, most people didn't know to change it out. Between its corrosive nature, and especially when it starts going bad, it corrodes the wire-threaded bolts out pretty fast.

A private shop can do this job properly for $2000 or less, just make sure you find someone who knows how to do it. I've seen some dealers charge $6000+ for the same thing.

Make sure you change radiator fluid every 50k on your Northstar, and more if you don't drive 15k/year.

I own a 2002 Cadillac Deville and I am going through head gasket challenges right now on my 32 valve motor with 151k miles on it

i own a 2000 cadillac seville with the northstar v8 and it started by eating up a quart of oil every 800 miles and 6 months later the head gasket blew at 97k miles. i now have it parked on my driveway. ive looked in to repairing it but price quotes are $2000 minimum and theres a 50/50 chance it will run again with no problems. big gamble on a car thats worth $4500 in good condition.
this is the reason gm discountinued the northstar v8. i loved my sls and now i wonder if i ever by another cadillac.

Happy for you! My husband loved his 2002 Deville. but 34 miles or so from NY he heard a warning bell, he looked it said coolant hot. we were able to pull over right away. The coolant backed out of the overflow hoses. we let it cool off, let the gauges get down to cool. we added more antifreeze and hit the road. after 18 minutes of travel the gauges started to creep up, we pulled over again. we added enough antifreeze to get to a gas station for more antifreeze, and then to our hotel,Weehawken NJ. please always have AAA they will stand by you. after two days stay we had the car towed to Atlantic city our next stop. make sure to ask the drive not the company if he will take 3 people. AAA told us too. but the ower of the wrecker told us yes, but i had already rented a car. he said $50 dollars more,i could have saved $69.00 we didn"t let that spoil our fun. The guy we saw in Alantic City said blown head gasket.I said to myself there is no water in the oil, there is no oil in the radiator. there is no steam coming out of the tailpipe. the gauges in the car never got two blocks pass over middle way. after our hotel stays we Uhaul it to my brothers place in MD. i saw online ths stuff called Dura-seal headgasket sealer for all makes of cars. suppose to be money back if it doesn't work. they have it for the Northstar engine. I'm going to get the kit for $149.00. we are not going to put another alluminum engine in this car, so it's worth the try. It runs great now, but over heats. even if this stuff does not work i can still drive it to work 3 minutes from my house and it won't get a chance to get hot. i will be back to let you know how it worked out.

I've been having the same problem with my cadillac I would be interested in talking to your mechanic Is there any way you could get me his contact information thanks
