It happened just before Memorial Day and it was 4 days before I got my rental. But I didn't complain, everyone wants the weekend off.
There was no saving the engine. The block had 2 new windows! The rods didn't make a bid for freedom but they punched 2 big holes in the top of the block. The heads were tested at the dealership and those were damaged too, so new long block for me. There are no 2016 used engines with 42k or less anywhere to be found so I'm getting a crate 2017 engine.
OTOH I'm glad to get the new revision engine but OTOH It's going to be put in a 2016 car which hasn't been done by this dealership (if anywhere at all) and it's not exactly a 1:1 fit (the manual engine anyway) so I hope they can handle it. It's more than just the intake manifold and header that are different, I understand the wiring harness is different too.
Is the 17 auto engine exactly the same as the 2016?
