I wonder how much oil consumption is considered to be "normal". I feel as though my PSI drops from 45 to 42-43 on the freeway depending on how many miles I've got on the oil (45 at brand new, 42-43 after 2-3k miles). Either way for you I'd recommend just continually hitting the track and...

Contacted them about the hood and they said they don't know if it'll fit on the blackwing ;-; I just want a really clean V2-V3 Carbon hood. I love the way that the center venting looks on those things

How much are is a set front and rear for the 5?

Sorry to hear you're still going thru this. Hopefully they can get it fixed ASAP.

From what I’ve seen out of my motor (pieces and all when she popped) it’s extremely stout. My motor was still running even when it turned one of the titanium rods black from heat. I hope that it was just a bad batch or something that caused my motor to go and a few others but I guess we’ll never...

Told you! Spark plug was my issue with it when I just got it back

I don’t think you’ll need a new block. Chances are it was like my new motor and spark plug wires just came loose after my first real pull with it. Similar situation. Keep us updated

I don’t know that I’m still having issues with it haha. It still pulls hard, makes wonderful noises and makes me realize that jail could be just around the corner. Hence why I’m just looking for some clips of noise and info on oil. I’m just being a big ball of anxiety for no reason.

Hello all. 23 CT5-BW - 5000 miles 6MT Maybe it's just me driving myself insane but after seeing other posts of engines giving out and being one of the few that it has happened to, I'm just wondering if anyone has any clips of what the engine is supposed to sound like, any data on the oil...

I'm on my second engine and pretty sure that it's consuming a bit of oil too. At about 4900 miles (4500 with the new motor) and I feel like it's consumed some oil as the oil pressures stop returning to 38 at idle as quick as they used to with the oil change I did at 3k miles. Hoping that I don't...

I'm with you on this. My thread on my failure devolved into "It's the builders fault" but multiple times I've said it was purely a defect in my crankshaft that caused one of the bearings to spin.

In my situation it was my crankshaft that was the issue. To my understanding there was a defect in it. I have no idea who built my new motor as they sent a new motor and supercharger but not a new supercharger lid. Who knows if I'll have issues in the future with this motor. For now it seems...

I'm so sorry to hear about this! I was really hoping that I'd be the only one experiencing a situation with it. TLDR on my own story with mine if you haven't run through my post: There was a bur or a blockage in the oil journal for bearings 3 and 4 and with lack of lubrication caused them to...

Typically the 5s idle around 38 or so and on the freeway in 6th I’ve seen mine at 42-46 depending on if I just accelerated or just been cruising for a while. I remember someone saying that the oil pump is a variable vein system or something like that and oil pressure can fluctuate quite a bit...

Bearing 3 and 4 on mine spun due to a bur in the crankshaft causing issues with one of the oil journals. It also popped at 288 miles. I didn't really notice my temps spiking, just a sputter and then a metallic noise like the video of that C8 Z06 at 52 miles but I also wasn't watching it at the...

Dont worry OP. I'm 23 and popped my 5BW motor and they replaced it pretty quickly. They're gonna ask if you money shifted or did any beating on it but at the end of the day they're gonna be sending you a new motor. That's what a new car warranty is for. Things happen, it is what it is. As long...

I’m at about 3800 right now also an 6MT and don’t have the smell. Haven’t gotten any snow as of late but it’s in the forecast next week so I’ll go out and rip it when I can and report back. I’d look under and see if anything is just rubbing. Sometimes if you hit some snow or something it’ll...

Is it a manual? I drove mine in snow and ice and didn't smell anything. Also some info on mileage helps. Brand new I had a few weird smells I chalked up to just new car and they went away

Mine surged pretty violently as it spun the rod bearings. I've heard some people have had issues with the cam actuator and it caused some surging or misfiring
