I got a 93 lt1 over the summer and drove I only a few times got ready to store for the winter and found both heads have antifreeze in the rocker valleys and a ton of antifreeze on the dip stick. It has 118,000 miles on it but I have a warranty covering the motor should I push for a new one? I have no way to tell how long this has been going on.

The warranty company is going to want to tear down the motor to find if the heads cracked or a blown head or intake gasket. Push hard and often so not to delay in the repair.The motor could cost them big$ and they are most likely going to try to weasel out of payment. They are not just going give you the option of a repair or a replacement. The company will make the determination. Check the details on the warrany contract , to make sure of your rights. If your lucky it might not be as bad as it sounds. Good luck.

Before letting the responsible party get their hands on it, I HIGHLY suggest pulling the plugs, and checking the squeeze in ALL 8 holes with a comp gauge, and TAKING A PIC OF THE GAUGE IN EACH HOLE!!!
