Hope fully all engine debris are now gone and the second pump should not fail.
NOW go read about LT1 and LT4 failures which there have been many and GM has said they have had problems getting the blocks clean and debris are clogging the oil pumps and oil filters. Some reviewers Z06's even had major motor damage from this.
Granted car is under warranty and being fixed but sure the heck does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. Has to make you wonder why GM dropped the drivetrain warranty from 100K to 60K miles.

Just search and you will find issues that are a little nerve racking even on a new motor.
I am still really considering one of these: |
Can you ask him how they determined engine block debris was causing the problem
? and is it a concern for the '16 models ...tell him your considering getting rid of your '13 for a '16 but ONLY if the problem doesn't exist.
