I had all intention of modding this car and purchased it because of the mod friendly nature of coyotes with out the fuel system limitations and short block limitations of the LT1 not to mention the cost of modding of them , is there a chance these new gen 3 coyotes are not as reliable or its just a few ..has me a bit paranoid now ..can some one start a poll on failures and build dates maybe we can get a bit of Data atleast ..also how many 18s built over all vs how many failures .it just seems like i hear about 2 more every day .even have friends texting me about failures .I feel like maybe i should have waited but I had coyotes in the past they were always reliable .any input would be great thanks .

-rattle (piston slap?)
-clutch grind/noise
-BBQ tick

Build dates with issues vary from November 17 to May 18. Honestly no one knows how many are faulty, how many are blown, how many are going to blow.
