(I may be mistaken here but it has something to do with timing I think). Basically the engine ran into a self inflicted problem and now both timing sprockets may need replacing despite the fact that one of them is only 1 month old! Definitely does not give me confidence should this problem pop up on a future Z.

It was a full long block one month prior to the TSB. So I think it was a long block from the old batch. I requested that since the block should have a different VIN stamped on that they pull the birth date of it if possible. Was curious as to how long the motor sat idle before being a new heart in my car. The master tech stated that is more than likely why it is again having this problem since it was pre TSB.
