My motor grenaded.

Sorry to hear this happened to you, but at least you had an option that fit your budget. Are you planning on building the block while your at it?

I sold my car because I had no fall back to fix it IF something happened. I got ahead of myself. With GTM seemingly going south, I was stressed out because anyone willing to touch it was sketchy or wanted to charge me both arms and legs.

i would demand pictures of all bearings, piston and rod assemblies, and spark plugs as they come out. post them up and we'll know whether it was oiling or detonation that failed it.

If it turns out it was an oiling issue make sure to check the cam journals as they are unrepairable if scored

I cleaned the thread of the useless bickering. That kind of stuff should be done in PMs.

Infidel, very sorry about the trouble that you have been going through. I'm glad they seem to be trying to work with you toward a resolution.

Hey Infi, Nice to see progress. Geez don't be so tuff on yourself. Why not take a little time off and offer to assist with the engine breakdown. Just hold the drop light, hand off tools, grab rags etc. If Bobby agree's you'll lean a hell of a lot and you can capture the break down. If you want to save some twisted metal QC labs is an excellent metalology labratory and if you grab a few pill bottles of oil I can recommend the top oil analysis company around. I don't think it's worth the money but if it give you peace o mind what the hell. You've peeked all of our interest & I'd love to see pic's of the breakdown.
It really seems as if Bobby is steppin up.

If I'm not working I'm not making money. I couldn't get the time off even if I wanted to, besides It's a two hour trip each direction. Oil analysis is fairly cheap with Blackstone but the engine has to be built and stay together first and then after some miles Blackstone will get a sample to test. It's just gonna take more time but everything will come out in the wash whether good or bad. I'm blessed to know there is a high level of attention being paid by a lot of the members on this forum.

I have no experience with the Forced induction Z's, however I have had high horsepower cars with FI, and the old adage is ALWAYS how fast can you afford to go. I understand that your wicked pissed right now, and honestly it may have been the tune, or it may have been the shitty GTM stuff, or the engine, who knows. I know what I would do, I'd have the engine rebuilt and sell the car. Its been nothing but troubles for you in the aftermarket arena. Good luck.

p.s. the new c7 corvette will give you as much if not more enjoyment for less than a well sorted TT kit plus the cost of a Z. just sayin
