Looks like it is time to get a lawyer involved.

I would advise you research this forum member and his personal views on GTM before commenting on a subject that has no benefit to the OP or people reading this thread. People have their preferences and reasons for going with a particular manufacturer. The OP hasn't even shared the direct cause of the issue. It could have happened with someone running the GTM kit as well. His motor failed, not his SC kit. Don't take this as me being an A-hole, just know that AMNVQ and GTM bump heads.

If you do get the dealer to rebuild the engine under warranty, I would look at forged internal parts, and buy them youselft if possible. This way you get a built block, and only have to pay for rods/pistons/studs/head gasket...and a couple of other things.
Just something to consider I guess (again if it comest to that) GL with everything.

The dealer won't do that, it was the first thing I thought about. I ask them if they would do that an theytold me no.

If you have a legitimate warranty claim that they won't honor, lawyer up and go get 'em!
If it's shaky ground, it might be easier to cut your losses and at least get the fresh motor. There's downtime to consider as well unless you have a second car.

Not really, Would abuse mean beating on( Tracking the car) or not maintaning it, Oil changes and what not, None of those I did. Heck I didnt even drive it everyday.
But really since this was installed @10,055, Jan 1 2012, I have only driving it 7k miles in 10 months.

I think by the end of this, it can only be better. It was good that it popped at the dealer and not on you. Regarding the SC kit, it can always be reinstalled on the new motor. It may cost more money again, but you have a fresh motor. If things go your way, the dealer may have to cover the costs of putting the SC back on considering it was something they sold and installed. I would have your Lawyer write them a kind letter to encourage them to do the right thing. You have the media as an outlet, and the court system.
