Well got the total from my speed shop on my Grand Sport, motors coming out needs lifters springs rods new cam timing chain new seals flush the motor using a btr stage 2 cam would love a stage 3 but no headers so a 2 is better,along with a tune going to cost 4500 that really hurts

I just had to spend $8800 on a crate motor form my Grand Sport because it blew up at 34,000 miles.

Didn't want to be nosey but I was wondering what the outcome was.

Yeah it hurts try living on a thousand a month paying 550 for rent then have this happen. I sat and just stared at the wall then took out a loan to get it fixed no options it's my only car and pretty much all I have left after the divorce and getting sick and losing part of my foot but oh well I did what Marines do I assed the situation and moved forward.

I have to ask ...

How did you blow up a LS3 at 34,000 miles? Both of our grandsports are well past that and we have had ZERO motor issues.

Ours are all stock though ...

Was that just for the motor? No labor involved? If so, that Crate LS3 really got expensive in the last 5 years. I bought one in '12 for 5,600.

I have a few questions. How much did your car put down (LS2 or LS3) and what type of dyno? Do you wish you would have went with a BTR stage 3? An do you you have any surge or bucking with the cam? Thanks in advance
