2018 Camaro SS 6.2L LT1 Engine FAILURE @93K With PERFECT Maintenance!

For parts email us at Importapartsales@Gmail.com Today we have a 6.2L Gen5 LT1 V8 Engine from a 2018 Chevrolet Camaro SS. This engine has only 93K miles and has FAILED! A carfax report shows impeccable maintenance and tearing down this engine shows just how good this engine was looked after. So how exactly does an engine fail with such good maintenance? What was the owner of this car supposed to do to avoid this type of failure? OR perhaps, this is a symptom of manufacturers taking the lowest bid or spec'ing parts for cost instead of longevity. That what this engine teardown video will hopefully prove. Either way, this type of failure SHOULD NOT HAPPEN given these circumstances.

My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantling business. Part of our model includes buying blown up and bad engines to dismantle for parts. We salvage the good, sellable parts and recycle rest. No, we don't rebuild engines but we do sell parts to people who do! As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
