Or he could just get an extension pole and let his car run at redline in Park/Out of Gear for 30 minutes until the engine implodes and tow that mess to the dealership for an engine replacement.

If it's a manual, make sure you never use a gear above 2nd or 3rd for daily driving. You should be getting a new engine pretty soon.

All cylinders scored? Octane gas used? Tune? Do you ever warm up that car in the Canadien cold?

Due to the scoring my engine was making a loud metallic clicking noise from the motor

You should probably make it bad before your warranty expires unless you like to pay for engine replacements out of pocket.

Use the thinnest oil you can find while doing that.

What did you say to the dealer/ what are the issues you were having when you bring it in to the stealership?

I think I've seen 0w-16 on the shelves of Walmart. That's the thinnest oil I've ever seen.

i did not have to say much as the engine was saying it for me as it was making a metallic sound that sounded rpm dependent the faster the rpm the more it was making this horrible noise.

My valve cover was replaced last week. I had oil going on top of my pistons. Now my cylinder #2 injector is failing. It's not throwing a fault or anything or misfiring, but it's just over-fueling and fouling up the spark plug. I just had one ordered for $250 and will have it replaced by a friend. I'm not taking my car to the dealer it's got a Pure turbo and all sorts of mods. Pay to play, but hopefully this gets resolved soon. I just put in brand new 2 step colder spark plugs yesterday and today cylinder #2 spark plug has already gotten fouled up with only 40 miles on driving max.

I'm not sure what is up with cylinder #2 injectors going south.

Has your engine been fine after the dealer fixed it?
