That sounds eerily similar to what happened to my original engine. Cruising along the interstate, felt a small buck and instantly lost the motor. All I could find was maybe I either had a spot of bad gas or the DI clogged and ran lean causing a single large misfire. Sorry to see your engine go buddy. Were you running E85 or normal at the time?

Keep us informed. I am on the fence with building an FA, but still concerned of their issues, or going with a K swap.

Mine started while using E85 from Louisiana and finally detonated a week later on the same fuel. In between, I put some Lucas Upper Cylinder and Fuel Treatment in there and it stopped my issues. I know I was a dumbass for putting that fuel back in my car without the treatment again.

I will most likely be going this route, depending on if they follow through on time. I have nursing school starting in August, but I have a motorcycle, bicycle, wife's Q5 and Uber/Lift to get me through things. I will break down the engine today and see how bad the damage is.

I know, right. It is a right of passage.
I'm leaning to do a K24 NA with E85 potentially, and then get through nursing school, and then pull the motor and build it up for boost. If I was considering a FA motor then it would be a FA24 swap, but used motors are not on the market, and I frankly prefer the K24, even though D4S is nice too.

Here you go @Irace86.2.0. I mean you don't need nursing school really do you?
Plus GM has a $250 rebate on them right now....

At the moment, I suspect you do. Edit: Actually, I'm being a jerk. Sorry the engine let go. It's funny (not your situation, but the twisted reality) you can extract a lot of horsepower from these things, but like having one's cake and also eating it, you can't use it. I know next to nothing about quantum mechanics but I vaguely remember some property of particles that observing them makes them unfindable. (somebody help me here). In our case the engine can make a whole lot of power, but if you explore that power, the engine vanishes. I am now convinced that the stock engine is just fast enough for this old man.
