Can you get that in writing? Maybe you could say you need it to submit a claim to your (fictitious) extended warranty company. Got maintenance records? Talk to a lawyer, it may be cheaper to have a lawyer threaten them with legal action, than to pay full price for a new engine. Many dealers have a "good faith" slush fund that they can use to help offset some of the expense for out of warranty repairs.Originally posted by VX_PA
My dealer said that faulty bearings were the cause of mine.
Just a suggestion
I've also read here that there was a known oiling problem, which was supposedly addressed. Not sure what model year the correction took place.
Engine rebuilders/ speed shops usually have some mods that address these kind of problems, like restrictors that keep more oil low in the engine or grooving bearings or adding additional oiling passages at the offending area.
Has anyone torn a VX engine down to see if our engine has any of these kind of supplemental mods from the factory?
