Were they willing to work on a discount to repair or replace the engine? If not I would consider looking for a good 3rd party shop to replace/repair the engine. People wreck camaros and corvettes all the time. I would hope you could get a used long block cheap. Or buy a new one from shop. I am sure tons of people on this forum can recommend a good shop near you. Good luck and update us on the fix.

For those wondering here is what the front cover of my oil pump looked like when I pulled it off.

I think it's safe to say your catch can didn't do that. That looks like straight up bad casting. Come on GM...

Sorry man, what they did here is inexcusable. Why the hell did they run they car with no oil pressure? I think the bigger problem here is modern engines with 10k miles on them having oil pump failure. Mine just crapped out at 9800 miles. Unfortunately I have no warranty because it's a 2010. There's absolutely no damn reason these pumps should die so early if the engine is properly maintained.
Between this and my shitbox oil drinking 5.3 AFM engine in my truck I'm done with GM. Been a loyal customer since 1998, but I'm done. |

I can't win for losing. Last night my scout caught fire. Luckily I caught it quick enough before it did much damage let alone burning down my garage and quite possibly my house. All it did was burn up the feed line return line and what I think is a vent line.
