CT5BW Blown Motor Registry

[rubberduck]

Wait, was this a veiled shot at us Chicagoans?

Wasn’t intended to be, but recent mayors do prove the point. The so called Peter Principle.

This could explain the blown engines and I highly suspect they are across all builders.

Someone needs to clarify this , because the way I see it CT5 BW HAS TITANIUM RODS!
Of course I could be wrong

I thought the LT4 in the CT5V-BW had some titanium valve train parts. Not sure which parts... I'm guessing rocker arms, perhaps pushrods?

IIRC, the ATS-V manual had titanium push rods if that helps

I believe intake valves.

I heard the engine builders were DEI hires.

Maybe we should also start a 'STILL GOING STRONG' registry, so it doesn't appear like some large percentage of CT5BW's are blowing their motors on a regular basis...

LOL - there's already a thread with "Did your engine blow up yet", I think that's the one you're looking for.
