Good luck,

Plus the motor and car is brand new. I’m waiting for answers from the shop and what stillen has to say about the tune they sent. The SC was put together per stillen’s instructions and there warranty guidelines.

Very sad to hear. Breaks my heart.

Going forward, why do you need a new engine? Can you find a decent shop that can pinpoint exact failure and replace parts as required?

Did you check oil and oil filter for metal?

Without removing engine, you can boroscope the cylinders and MAYBE remove oil pan and check bottom end.

I know this is happening very quickly but just trying to give advice and you can refer to it at your pace.

In the end, if it's cheaper to replace engine, so be it. However, I'd look into it a little more.

Good luck and keep us posted. We want to hear some good news.

It’s cheaper for them to replace the motor because the other way requires way to much labor time. I don’t know anything further until they call me. They first have to see exactly what is wrong and what to replace im guessing. As soon as I know more I will post it. Besides the Extent of the damage I want to know what stillen has to say.
