Should the GM Performance engines need to be repaired, the work can be done through the series’ network of authorized rebuilders. They can break the factory seals, repair the engines, and reseal them. The series keeps a database of repairs to insure the legality of the engines, in that they stay within the specifications and tolerances set by the factory.
