I have been contacted by several forum members asking about the number of failed LT1 & LT4 engines. While I do know definitively, I do know that on a percentage basis that the failure rate is fairly low. However, I also am aware of how significant an event it is for the individual that has experienced a failure. I had not been keeping track of failures, but recent postings in a specific thread has indicated that several members are now experiencing failures or possible failures. I would like this thread to serve as a tracking thread to provide us with some indication of the failure rate experienced by our membership.
What I would ask is that only engine failure events that have occurred to our forum members be reported. Please indicate your symptom that first indicated your problem, the result, and what remedial action transpired after that event. (i.e. engine replacement or vehicle buy back)
I also request that this thread not be subverted into a rant, or a discussion thread. If you want to discuss your own particular situation you are free to initiate your own thread siting your particular issue.
As is the case with the catch can report thread only reports are allowed and anything else will be deleted.
If you make a report give us as much information as you can provide, such as model year, C7 type, mileage, and keep your post updated as your situation progresses.
