[QUOTE="Jason Krakauer, post: 1540637, member: 39601"] And all that's moot ... shop replaced the cracked valve cover, the bad coil, and I sourced a replacement oil pressure sensor. But when they went to test drive it they got another low pressure warning. Hooked up a hydraulic pressure gauge and I was only reading 8-10psi at idle (factory states 20psi for a hot motor). Dropped the oil and filter and it looked like a crystal ball with fine metal. So bearing ware. Hoping it’s just rod bearings and that they can get to them and check them without pulling the motor (know more tomorrow). If I can get away replacing those bearings and there’s not any scoring on the crank and/or the main bearings look fine that’s a best-case. Worst case - looking for a short block and hoping that my local shop is up to the job. Sucks hard. Bought the thing in Feb and have only put about 3k miles on it. So this problem has been working its way out for a while and I’m just the lucky bastard that found it. [/QUOTE]
