My V6 update - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

SSNIGHTMARE · 10-06-2008, 02:15 PM

As a few may know my POS CTS with the V6 decided to window the block on my way to Indy. Thanks GM, but the worst part is the car is still in OH at some Amish dealership. Seriously how long does it take to put in a new motor. The car only had 6k on it? Yes, I should have seen this coming, this was the most gutless car I have ever owned.

So, is anyone looking for gently used caddy with a new motor, assuming I ever get it back?

No, it doesn't but GM has to get this engine right if they want to sell. It's available or will be available in the CTS, STS, Traverse, Acadia, Outlook, Enclave, G8 ST, Camaro...

What does "windowed" mean anyway?

HOLE IN THE BLOCK, ITS A RATHER LARGE ONE TOO

fierodeletre · 10-06-2008, 04:17 PM

From what? Throwing a connecting rod? What caused it?

SSNIGHTMARE · 10-06-2008, 07:38 PM

Yes, not sure what caused it. The dealer is about as sharp as a pregnant trout.

headpunter · 10-06-2008, 07:53 PM

SSNIGHTMARE · 10-06-2008, 08:32 PM
