Time to make introductions! Valve, meet piston

 

[Session 5]

It’s never a good day when objects that cannot be compressed are introduced into your car’s engine cylinders.

This is especially true when that car is one of the most anticipated sports cars to come out of Detroit in years. When it happens with fewer than 100 kilometres on the clock, it’s nearly apocalyptic.

However, that’s exactly what happened to one Michael Crummer. In a Facebook post made January 18, the man shows a new Corvette hoisted skyward with a big hole where most of its important internals

GM has continued to use two-piece valves and powdered metal connecting rods in the 'new' engine, despite repeated failures of these parts in the 'old' LS engines.

My dad was a huge fan of Corvettes. And he always told me, never, buy a new model corvette the first two years out. They always have problems when they redesign them.

I was told that for just about any make/model.

Let them work the bugs out --- being the FIRST ON THE BLOCK to have the NEW TOY aint always a GOOD thing
