WHY Did This Camaro ZL1 Engine SEIZE on the TRACK? - LT4 Engine Teardown!

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

In today's episode we have an LT4 engine block out of a Camaro ZL1 racecar. This engine was sent to us from Tommy's Auto in California to work together on rebuilding this engine and getting this monster back on the track. Before we put it back together, we wanted to really dive into the teardown and see if we can determine the cause of failure. Being an investigator and piecing together the puzzle is always our favorite part.
