Not saying that you didn't take care of it, but that is way too early for them to be shot. Factory defect?

Why not replace them yourself? They aren't that hard to get to. We (Horse and I) replaced them in his car in about 2-2 1/2 hours.

Got word back from the dealership that the engine is not blown. The lifters were worn and they are replacing them. RIIIIIIIGHT thats what the dealers main service writer said about mine too- well turns out that after colter and I changed 12 of the 24 and 8 rocker arms - it was a roasted rod bearing costing me a motor- im still out the motor and the dealership refueses to help me so now im screwed too- Antonio- unload the car ASAP so it doesnt die on you like it did on me- on a side note anyone of legal expertise please PM me about a way to get either FoMoCo or my local dealer to pay - because they misdiagnosed the problem and my motor is now an expensive hunk of trash!

They tore down the block to find the problem. Plus don't you think they would look and try to find more problems so they can milk me. -Antonio
