Engine failed due to weaker metal being used building the 2009 engines. The government bought up all the hard metal to build armor plated vehicles to be used for the military. GM decided to go with a softer metal that caused the engine to fail. The lifters are weak. I had it rebuilt by a GM mechanic and he stated he had seen this problem many times.
