Seized Engine!

[PARAGON]

Well it's certainly not the engine as a whole. If it were, with the number of I-5s on the road through the H3s, Colos and Canyons, an engineering defect would have been statistically evident.

I noticed that you were very careful in not saying that the same cylinder was the culprit again. It sucks that you are having to deal with a problem of this magnitude but this does not qualify for lemon law status in most states. It's way too common for engine rebuilds to go wrong and for something to break at 400 miles is indicative of the rebuild. Best case scenario is that you get a whole new engine, head mated to block, ready-to-go so that you don't have to worry about a rebuild again.
