Soo the dealership confirmed I do have Pourous Block. Therefore im getting a new Motor, should be in on monday and thet say ill have it back by thursday. Afterr that its the break in period and then my mods go back on including meth injection. Go figure my block would fail at 32,000 miles. Ohh well cant beat a new motor

 

How was the car acting before you brought it in

 

Curious what made them decided that you had porous block.

 

UV Dye for the cooling system is a wonderful thing.

 

So you got this car around 2 months ago..according to the posts you have here?
It's pretty scarry to have this problem pop up at 33K mi. Does anyone here know if this is a problem mainly with 08 models? I see this is an 08 too.
I wonder if the car had this problem before you got it?

 

That's my fear. I also have an '08. I know it's happening on the '09 cars, too.

 

Well. I wonder if the problem surfaced much earlier with the previous owner?
My take...yeah this is a ticking time bomb with an *occult* problem. You just can't predict which motors will fail with this condition. Having said this....I'm pretty sure that pushing the limits using higher boost levels certainly invite this, especially in cars prone to have porousity. There is is guy here who covered this topic very well...*ARMY* something was his ID as I recall.

 

id like a new motor haha

 

mine failed at 2000kms. make sure all the bolts and stuff are tight after u get it back, they forgot on on my altenator when i got mine

 

what are the symptoms of a porous block?

 

Slow coolent leak plus coolent in your oil.
It was acting wierd besides the coolent leak and the nasty oil it had problems starting which I attributed to the evap purge solonoid whereas in face it had to do with the porous block I think beacuse after I replaced the solonoid it did it again the problem statrting and such.
