Re: **do not buy blueprint engines***

Hate hearing stuff like this.

I bought the BP38313CTC1D and have about 1500 miles on it since May with no issues.

Don't stress, the odds are, your motor is fine. Plus you have the aluminum H8002K heads, I think. Anyhow, I wouldn't worry too much.

No stress, very happy with mine.

Just hate when someone has a bad experience. But for every company there is good with bad. It is in the way they handle it and so far the OP seems to be getting a poor response to his situation. IMO

Re: **do not buy blueprint engines***

Well I have GREAT NEWS!!! Blueprint has been in contact with me and we came to a resolution that I am absolutely thrilled about. After discussing the details and explaining the situation that I went through with my new engine, they agreed to pay my repair bill in full. Blueprint apologized for using the heads to begin with and said they never should have been installed on my engine in the first place. Along with that, they met with their assembly and quality control teams to make sure that something like this is to never happen again and to use only good quality reman heads for the builds. Also they met with the retailer who is advertising “New Vortec Heads” for this particular engine and the retailer has since changed the layout to no longer advertise “New” heads. They were very sympathetic to the whole ordeal and wanted to ensure me that they do stand behind their builds. I cannot be happier with the outcome and I truly believe now that they do stand behind their product. They have gone as far as to offer any assistance in the future if some issue would arise. Again, I am thoroughly pleased with the outcome and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Blueprint!

Re: **do not buy blueprint engines***

Blueprint seems to have done the right thing here and looked after their customer....

Are they sending a new "rebuilt" engine to the dealer for them to install ?

IMO...I would be getting the cash back and buying one of those new GM units...

But thats only this old mans opinion...

Good luck
