I just spoke to the service department, and they confirmed the engine is not used nor remanufactured. It is brand new and will be fully installed by tmrw.

Let me know what part number they charge out on the invoice. I just looked it up, I am only seeing new engines available for the 6.2 in a Camaro lol, that is surprising and looks like I was wrong! It also says the L99 is not discontinued as noted you must order from gmspo.

Agreed that you are getting an L99. They are a little cheaper, so you know that is where the warranty company is going to go. Also, it is a straight up swap with nothing else needed.
New, remanufactured, or used? Who knows. I know some insurance/warranty companies reserve the right to buy a used engine with similar or less mileage than what you currently have. As for being discontinued? Nope. You can buy either engine brand new or remanufactured. They just are not being used in new cars anymore as GM moved on to the LT platform. Edit: Just saw this after I posted. That is great news man. I would be relieved.

Yes, both of those will unfortunately void the warranty. They've had the car since Dec 8th. They said the techs would be looking for aftermarket modifications and/or computer tuning. They looked for signs of racing, abuse, or poor maintenance. I don't have time to do my oil changes so I always drop it off at the dealer. So they had a pretty good paper trail. Then they asked me to approve a $3500 teardown to find the source of the failure. If they found it was my fault, that was my bill. After I passed all the inspections, they sent Ally to come and look at the car.

No, I bought the delete kit. I wanted the blower to run on its own pulley so I bought the zl1 front-drive with pulleys and deleting VVT, installing a non-vvt cam.

Oh hell yeah. That's how I would do it. Don't have to worry about the weak link in the valvetrain.

i kinda get a tune but there is no reason a cai should void a warranty other than them looking for any way to keep from honoring a repair..... |

CAI should not. But at your age you must have a 3rd party warranty. It really depends most of those look for any reason, any mod to deny a claim then you are just left with suing them. Factory warranty is a little more forgiving, but non GM calibrations in the ecm will deny a warranty claim. Funny part is most dealers forget to verify the calibrations so you can get lucky lol. But i would always reload the factory tune and hope they don't catch it. The whipple sitting on top of mine might be a dead giveaway though....

Yea it's crazy, but if you think about it. CAI is illegal in some states, including the one I live in. Some CAI requires a tune to adjust the air-fuel ratio. So they will absolutely use that against you and say the CAI made the car run lean or yada yada yada.

The dealer is saying that spark plugs and wires do not come with the engine. I did not know that. So they still found a way to get into my wallet ($506+ purge valve tube$150+Deductible$100 =$656 ) Can anyone confirm this is normal?
