I hope you get a more competent dealer than what was discussed here.

If anything this would make me NOT buy a GM crate engine and NOT want to have anything to do with a GM dealer service dept.

The crate engine: Poorly engineered combination of parts in this instance. GM should sell this engine as a short block only or put higher compression heads on it.

The dealership service: Incompetent as described in the conversation.

This being said, it's different for me as I do not trust others to build my engines.
