Brian P Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 might be a spark thing? Hopefully they don't find a problem not related to the engine install. That warranty company is gonna drop you like a bad habit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 might be a spark thing? Hopefully they don't find a problem not related to the engine install. That warranty company is gonna drop you like a bad habit Even if it's not related to the engine install, I'm covered by my existing warranty. I paid the $1600 for this damn warranty, my car's taken care of like my own child, they're not going to drop me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Ah yeah, you're def getting your money's worth. When I worked as a service writer for a repair shop, some of the shadier/cheaper warranty companies would weasel their way out of coverage when it got too high.

Euro Posted May 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Yeah that's why we went with a full GM Protection Plan and not some 3rd party warranty company. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Well, it was just eh #6 plug that went bad. I'm guessing it had something to do with the motor failure, since the #6 bearing was the one that failed. Otherwise I'm lost because the plugs/wires/coils only have 10k on em.

Euro Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Yeah, oh well. If I would've known the plug was bad I would've done it myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19Cutlass94 Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Did they put some decent plugs back in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 yeah stock Delco plugs at least!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 That's sorta bullshit they charged you for fluids and stuff and put used plugs in a new engine. Just my opinion though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euro Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Actually, they didn't charge for fluids. I only had to pay my $100 deductible. I was pissed they put the old plugs into the NEW HEADS. Especially since the plug that was bad was the plug on the same cylinder where the bearing failed. Both my dad and I let them know we were pissed off about that. Thankfully school's out in less than a week, and *if* (God forbid) something else goes wrong, I can take it to the dealership/mechanics that we're friends with and trust.

Euro Posted May 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 I mean, the old plugs only had about 9k miles on them, they were replaced April 06, but still.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted May 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 Really well. No more leaks. The motor's got about 800 miles on it and she runs great. I can actually tell a difference with the series 3 heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Yeah I've never heard of L36/67's blowing up with such little mileage before until mine did. I've heard of dozens of LIM gasket failures that leaked coolant internally into the motor, but none resulting in the motor taking a shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
