Funny I've had my car for over 2 weeks and still do not know who took part in building this engine. Guess I'll have to look at some point
Keep it a mystery. As far as I’m aware if they shipped you your car it is good. I paid for transport because they were about to put it back in hold status and had it delivered earlier than it should and the car decided it had abandonment issues and didn’t want the rod bearings to be separate from the crank
I have a 10AT. Weather has been crappy raining and since recent ceramic coating, not willing to get dirty as I was told I couldn’t wash for the first 2 wks. Sunday is predicted to be a good day, so will look while driving around to see the rpm & oil pressure at 75mph. Been 1 week since coating. I’m also installing my black badges this weekend why I can on a clean car
. No idea who, they reused the supercharger lid which has the plaque on it. I’m debating getting one custom made for me if I’m the only one to suffer a failure like this to set it apartI have a 10AT.

When I drove it home earlier this month, if memory serves me, at 75mph is was hovering around 1800 to 1900 rpm. I paid more attention to the oil pressure during the drive so I could see the new engine starting point as a future reference.
My Crystal built engine knock on wood with about 700 miles on it has been good.
Did you ever see who built your replacement engine?
Also remember these are variable vane oil pumps. They change pressure on the fly and very dependent on the load/viscosity. Hard to expect every car to have the same oil pressure to be honest.No idea who, they reused the supercharger lid which has the plaque on it.

I think you’ll be fine. Oil pressures are hard to compare between auto and manual rolling since they’re each under a different load. I’ll probably get on it tonight since my drive home from the in-laws will push me over the 500 mile mark on the new motor. Been just absolutely stressing over every noise and every 1psi dip in oil pressure. I think I’m fine but knock on wood as well lol. There is one noise that I don’t know entirely about. 3rd gear accelerating under load, I head just loads of injector noise. My buddy at the dealership who used to have one said it’s cause 3rd is the power gear and it’s just dumping fuel but it just makes me panic
Happy thanksgiving to you all. Hopefully this is the end of the saga and I can start driving without anxiety.
The only thing I would suggest is changing the oil & filter soon as an extra precaution since some reassembly took place at the dealership.No idea who, they reused the supercharger lid which has the plaque on it.

Just as an FYI, 500 miles isn't when it's fully broken in, it's just when the tach goes to 6500, but the manual states break in is for 1500 miles.
Yeah I’ll have the oil changed before the 1000 mile mark. Trying to get it in tomorrow for it since I work at a dealership. It’s just a weird oil spec being 0W-40.
By all means, get the right oil.
Well folks. Over the 500 mile hump. Did a little 3rd gear pull to celebrate and shed a tear.By all means, get the right oil.
Isn’t it lemon-able at this point?
If I do that it could be well over a year if I got back in line now to get another. Plus msrp is way more for 23s vs 22s. I also spent a bunch having PPF put on the entire car
I think the quote from @Mirza Grebovic was "500 miles and let her eat"
1500 miles for rear diff. Just don’t do hard launches or track use until then. You can hammer the engine after 500.
