Today we're tearing into a 2.0L GM "LTG" Turbo engine from a 2013 Cadillac ATS with 172K. This engine was replaced at a shop and I didn't really get details as to why. This is the very first of these I've had in the shop so I was excited at the chance to get my hands on it. Overall, I'm fairly impressed with the engine design and construction. The failure though, at 172K is what I think, unrelated to mileage, and more related to "the perfect storm" of situations. What do you think?

Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto recycling business called Importapart. Part of our model includes dismantling core, blown and junk engines to salvage the good parts. We do not rebuild or repair engines, merely supply parts to those who do!

I really hope you enjoyed this teardown, as always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism. Catch you on the next one?
