What was the engine serial # of your second engine that failed?

I believe he's the one known owner that had a G6 engine fail, albeit not valvetrain related.
15k miles and some 12 track days on my G60914 so far and it's been amazing.

I don't recall which series it was, but I posted about it earlier in this thread. I recall it being a few years ago.

It would be on the paperwork you got from dealer.
My engine serial # F03048 went bad in July 2021.
My new replacement engine serial # G61792.

E0, yes. Not E1. Many of those are still in circulation (in the 2014s).

So while the engine is out, is there any other maintenance that could/should be done to the trans since it would be very simple?
