GM dealership told me the part is discontinued and no other dealerships ANYWHERE in the country have that part left in stock. Ive been to extremely large junk yards and couldn'f find any 3.4 DOHC. Please someone e-mail me giving me any leads on where to find this part.

fort wayne indiana LKQ has 3 LQ1s in the yard. Someone may have lots of parts lying around that could sell you one but those are common to break.

Photos are so dark I can hardly see them on my computer. Best Guess: Haul them off to someone who does aluminum welding. Simple and easy, will probably work just fine once the weld beads are ground down.
