So yea, i didnt just blow the head gasket the engine is toast, 0 compression in #1 cylander

dont know details yet

 

Wow that sucks. Are they going to fix it under warranty?

 

That really sucks but you are not the first. There are at least 2 others who have already shared your fate.

 

**** i wanted to be first, oh well I dunno if they are or not, if they are Im returning full to stock if not

Im either
A building the motor completely
B buying a crate motor orone from junk yard and returning to stock

 

what did u have in ur car preexplosion

 

Also curious to know the answer to this question.....

Okey doke. Thats somewhat unsettling if the car was tuned..... (assuming it was because of the HPT)

 

That is scary....

 

may i ask who tuned it

 

Guys, don't be so quick to assume it's the tune. There's probably more to the story.
Sorry to hear that Nick. Good luck with getting it fixed.

 

i know its prob not the tune but thats what blew my brothers truck up

 

Selfinfliction and I have blown engines, and a few others have followed as well. Mine happened as well at normal driving without boost being involved. All I had was an intake when mine blew though. It just plain sucks!

 

2 others around here too in the last week

 

im still fighting for warrenty..... its been over 2 months sence it blew

 

I feel your pain man. I've been there twice already! I hope it works out for you though. GM has seriously lost all my future purchases because of they way they've been treating everyone. I'm only 23, and I have owned 4 GM products, a 72 VW bug, and a 04 Tacoma 4x4. The toyota and the bug are the only two vehicles that ran consistantly too!!! It's pretty bad when my 72 dub became my daily driver since my 06 was down for months!

 

yea everytime mines gone into the shop ive either had to use vehicles from the past.. borrow my dads and this time i had to buy a truck.. there warrenty hasnt impressed me either and its not like this will b my last new vehicle to purchase im 20 years old i just hope everyone elses vehicles stay running tip top shape dealers and gm dont wanna help out there gm performance division cobalts.. but im sure if we came in with a lower model corvette there would b no questions asked about coverage on warrentey repairs.........

 

This very much so sucks but not to beat a dead horse but I hope this is a warning to the SS/SC owners out there who say "warranty means nothing to me"...cause when your engine goes, you're gonna be fighting tooth and nail for that warranty back. Spending 2-3 grand on a new engine is not fun or cheap.

So before you modify a seemingly brand new car, remember, this is the risk you are taking.

I hope everything works out for you though. Good luck fighting with GM.

 

thats is one of the things I researched about buying this car and was already planning on tearing down the motor anyway... my car is heavily modified but I do monitor everything and I do mean everything that goes on with the motor to make sure I always stay in the "safe" zone as to not blow it up before I"m ready to rebuild.... but I'm just about ready to do it so hopefully it holds up to then....

 

Oh I understand that but just wanted to clarify this to people who want to buy it and then put like 1.5" pulleys on their superchargers lol.

(exaggeration...yes I know)

 

I hear yah.... I"m sure we're gonna see a few more threads like this one unfortunatly...

 

Hmmmm... Insta-power is what I would call that! Insta-BOOM followed by that too!

 

this is why im probably going to sell mine befor i go to sea then when i get back buy something new.

 

A 1.5" pulley would make your supercharger whine sound like 5 pigs in a blanket getting beat with a leather paddle!

 

yea dealerships quote ... $6,950.00 just to let u know lol
