utt ohh freeze plug
Just spoke to the owner of the car and they told him from what they can see so far, looks like i also suspected, rod gave out...
What i think is that the car had a damaged hg and with time it gave out, causing the freeze plug to come out(happened to me 2x), looks like since all the oil had leaked out, the rods gave out and looks from it like it also might have put a hole through the block

Just got word that my friends car has 2 blown rods and the factory rep denied warranty!!!!!Block has a hole on it from the rod just as i suspected.. The tech said it was due to running lean

if all the oil leaked out, how could they possibly blame it on a lean condition?? its quite easy to tell....also what about the pistons? that would be another way to tell of a lean condition if they want to blame it on that

But what caused the oil to leak, thats the question?

So how did this happen at 30mph w/no boost as a previous post said??
Quick update:
they took the oil pan off and they told him the oil pan studs broke off, the oil leaked out and rod#1 snapped in half. They havent denied warranty yet, they will tear down the rest of the block tomorrow and take it from there..... To me this sounds like a factory defect, bad assembly, i call bs on this being caused by the car running lean as they had told him originally
