So is the decision to go with the crate engine?
If you do that can you keep the original or is it needed as a core?
It would be great if you could keep the engine and send it to a reputable shop for examination and determination of the cause. With the turbo I don't think you altered the short block so GM may still be held liable for the repairs if the cause is proven to be a manufacturing defect. What's the dealer's role so far? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I'll go the crate rather than rebuild. I imagine they want the old engine as a core. The dealer is being cooperative and seems to be trying to save as much expense as possible. But the local GM rep has already gone on record "no warranty". The mechanic is very good and agreed to cut the book time for his labor. I'm trying to remain calm but you know these are the risks we run when we start down the modification road. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>I would imagine that for any recourse you need the engine examined. Maybe you could work a deal with the dealer to allow you to have the engine examined and you just promise to return it when finished. Otherwise, you could pay the core charge and get the money back upon return of the old engine.
