The cutover is either in 12/96 or 1/97.  I've got reports of some 12/96
cars that came with G12, but also some 1/97 cars that came with G11.
Very strange...

I doubut you have an excuse to buy a big-valve head yet.  But leave the
G11 in there for another 5 years and you just might...<g>

Not entirely true, I'm afraid.  The changeover to G12 happened
partway through the '97 production year.  My early '97 still has blue
G11.

I have a born date of 12/96, so maybe the switch-over happen mid-year.
Currently the coolant seems to be dark bluish, does that sound like G11 in
there?
