My 370Z is a Lemon

I find it hard to believe that a dealer would rebuild a motor and not just replace the short block. I find it hard to believe that most dealers would have the facilities to work on cranks and rings and shiz.

My motor burned about a 1/2 qt. in the first few thousand miles, but since then I've stayed at the high dot every time I've checked it. Zero burn-off.

That's what a machine shop is for. Just because the dealer doesn't do the machine work doesn't mean they won't rebuild an engine.
