Engine failure on a 2017 Grrr

If you have warranty I think there's nothing to worry about but those without warranty should purchase some form of aftermarket warranty since the engine is so expensive. It maybe pure speculation but at one point more than 5 used Nc1 engines were available on ebay which have since dissapeared meaning people have been replacing engines we just dont know for what circumstances they are being replaced.That combined with the fact that acura parts websites do not show the nc1 engine short or longblocks available for purchases makes me wonder if pmc is holding all inventory to fulfill racing program and warranty cases first.

I don’t understand your reasoning that the ones for sale disappeared because they need new engines?
Maybe they were sold instead?

Yes, Im thinking the used ebay motors were bought to repair cars that weren't under warranty or had warranty that was voided because any car under warranty would have had a new crate motor come from pmc instead.

So people or pmc are buying up used nc1 for parts to replace engines for other nc1?
can look at the carfax to see where they went if a new owner registered them if not then maybe you theory is possible.

Think I’ll be staying stock. Had a modified GTR that was fast but frustrating. Gradually blew it up. Rod and clutch. I run all seasons and drive busy roads, so it would only be project / ego anyway. Kinda pissed me off when a supercharged ram truck was hanging with me on straight line though. And impressive.
