I’m sorry you had this happen to you, but I’m glad you caught it. It would be a shame to have that car with a blown engine. @Nightowl is facing a real sad situation that’s completely a warranty issue. Did you take your car to a speed shop or a private shop? Did they have evidence that it was internally cracked? I also bought a Katech pump and waiting for warranty to expire to replace it. I still have 3 years on my GM warranty and my ZL1 only has 1400 miles on it.
