I’m with you there. At this point, 70+ days at the shop, most lemon lawyers would probably consider this a “slam dunk.” If they swapped the engine in 2 weeks (really it only takes 2-5 days), I get my car back well within that time frame.

As it stands, IF metal particles get into various passages and I blow the engine again within the next 3 years? I’m still eligible for lemon AND they’d have to back track the mileage and time to this incident.

Penny wise, pound foolish. Especially considering how cheap the LT1 engine is.
