For an engine that just started to dilute the oil, probably far from WOT during the short occurance and it still had 10 psi oil pressure....I am amazed at the possible damage outlined.

He is the mechanic, but.....usually takes more teardown to pronunce the engine all but dead.

Anyone want a stab at why the jnjectors would be damaged?....or he could see damage in the combustion chamber other than scuffing from less lubricity? That has me scratching my head.


I am thinking the dealer has a swing out rebuild in stock. Swing in the rebuild and get rid of a recurring (possible) headache. Then he takes in the damaged engine and no matter what the original issue, he rebuilds and places it back in his swing out stock.
