Holy moly! Are you draining the engine oil, then only driving at 6000+ rpm? What conditions are causing these? Is it a track only car?

He tracks frequently and we have chased each other on track at several HPDE events. I have seen the pictures of the destroyed internals from his first 2021 SS 1LE engine. I think it was affected by the bad batch of valve springs. I also crawled under his car at the track to tap on the starter which was working intermittently after the warranty engine replacement because the dealership didn't fully tighten the power wire.

At this point it should be a GM buy-back. Or give up on the dealer and get a built motor from a reputable builder.
