Casted. Definitely not billet.Look how porous that thing is.
You can do just the crank sprocket and timing chains without dropping the oil pan. That is only necessary if you are doing the oil pump gears too, although at this point I would recommend both.Last time they gave me a new short block but I'm going to ask for a long block since this is the exact same problem again. The first time I drove the engine hard but couldn't get it to break. Good idea on the upgraded sprocket. What brand would you recommend? I was literally changing the oil today before purchasing AED tune![]()
I bought it brand new. It's unbelievable. I'm hoping the tick something small. Her is the sound clip I sent them before bringing it back. https://1drv.ms/v/s!AoevPxC2bmErif4JycwyOfqjKaAPpwAre you the original owner? I can't imagine 3 engines being bad. I thought I had bad luck.
Maybe have a different dealer install the next one?
