I'm not sure how many bearings were lost. The dealer stopped the tear-down after they discovered the first destroyed rod bearing.

Christian, glad to hear LT1 is soldiering on despite the considerable abuse you put it through. What oil have you been using on the track over the years?

Excellent suggestion to help protect the engine. It's ironic of course that you can't install one without voiding the warranty, so you'll have to wait until the warranty is up.

I'm guessing that in this case, the owner was a fan of pimp mobile styling, at least for the interior. Might take a little while to find the next home for this one.

And how wrong GM was in that decision. I submit that GM should have provided "Power Mop" badging on 1LEs. As in, "....wipes the floor with most cars it encounters on the track."
