Well boys. Getting the call from the dealership tomorrow morning. Heads are off and.... well it's probably rod bearings lol. Just my luck but she's gonna need a new long block.

Yeah it’ll be a new block. Officially I think I’m the second person to have a Blackwing completely fail mechanically. Of course car and driver gets to be the first. Anytime sirI think it would prefer a factory long block vs. your dealer bolting some new bits on and hoping for the best.
This is a worse reality when compared to paint defects and snowflakes landing on precious while she sits in the goat pin.
Thanks for the perspective reset bud.
if you ever wanted to know what a less than 300 mile engine looks like torn down here it is.
Hopefully the new heart comes in quickly and you're back on the road with smiles.Results are in. Cylinder 4 rod bearing spun. It was more than likely not torqued properly since there’s 30 thousandths of play in it. The noise is the piston moving up and down and the rod smacking into things. Soooooo it’s gonna need a new motor, and I hope it doesn’t arrive with Crystal’s name on it this time
Sure hope so. It’s my punishment for receiving my car earlier than I should have I guess lolHopefully the new heart comes in quickly and you're back on the road with smiles.

You've been pretty calm through the whole ordeal. Wish you the best on repairs.Sure hope so. It’s my punishment for receiving my car earlier than I should have I guess lol
The goats will make you wait...one way or another.Sure hope so. It’s my punishment for receiving my car earlier than I should have I guess lol
Maybe it’s because this whole experience with getting the car and having it sit in a lot for months has been just so ass I’m not even surprised that something like this has happened lol. It’ll be fixed at the end of the day. Crying about it won’t really do much. That being said I will be reaching out to GM and seeing what they’re gonna do to comp meYou've been pretty calm through the whole ordeal. Wish you the best on repairs.
If my engine had failed in that few miles, I would not have made it home from delivery, LOL.
I do have a loaner. 2020 Buick Encore. Makes me want to commit dieSorry if I missed the detail but, did they offer you a loaner in the process?
... maybe you can ask them if those 288 miles you already accumulated towards break in can be applied to your new motor?!Maybe it’s because this whole experience with getting the car and having it sit in a lot for months has been just so ass I’m not even surprised that something like this has happened lol.

Ugh... I think you could ask for an upgrade. Have they given an ETA as to how long it takes to fix?I do have a loaner. 2020 Buick Encore. Makes me want to commit die
No alias, on the build plate. Get a new heart and you're back in the game. Best of luck, pls post progress.Sure hope so. It’s my punishment for receiving my car earlier than I should have I guess lol
It’s not an enterprise car. It’s an actual dealership loaner car. To be honest for what I use it for it’s not that bad. I don’t really care too much, the weather is shitty so I’m not driving much. 2-3 weeks in a mom mobile that gets 25-30mpg is fine lol. I’ll have to make it upUgh...

They sent me to Enterprise and they had an XT5 for free but I saw a Crew Cab Silverado in the corner and I got that for $5 extra a day. I was more than happy.
I think you can easily ask for something better considering the circumstances and it will probably be weeks.
