UPDATE**
Monday I got a call saying it was fixed, the OCV was defective (same one that was originally replaced, sounds too coincidental to me given the situation). They apparently went over the entire car, changed all the fluids and filters so now its like were starting over again. Well The service manager drove the car to and from work for three days (I asked them to put some miles on it and make sure its fixed), drives great no issues. I told them it better be, just the OCV, if there are anymore issues, even the slightest noise I WILL be back. Drove the car home and put about 100 miles on it so after the dealer did the work it has about 200 miles on it now. Going to see what happens now. I'm praying it was just an odd coincidence given the fact that my luck trends like this and that said this is the last chance I'm trusting the dealer to fix what could be their mistake. |

@Jay161
I've had nearly identical issues that you have had. June of 2016, about 48,000 miles I had my motor pulled to get an oil leak fixed under warranty. They resealed the oil pan and cam plate. September of 2016, about 52,000 miles and I had my first CEL with P000B. They replaced the OCV and I went about my way. April of 2017 at about 65,000 miles my car threw a code for P0016. Dealer replaced the OCV and it came back after 8 miles. Took the car back and they replaced the cam sprocket and ECU. June of 2017 at about 69,000 miles I spun rod bearing #4. Replaced short block. Not even a week later it threw another P000B. Dealer deemed that the short block had a defective main bearing, causing low oil pressure. So they replaced the short block again, along with a timing cover, another cam sprocket and another ECU. 600 miles later, and it threw another P000B. And this time it sounded like it still had a knock ever since I got it back from the dealer. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the metal shavings from the initial spun bearing have fully contaminated every oil passage in the motor. |

Another case of using too much sealant and blowing the engine? Did they say why this happened?

Nope they did not and the only replaced the short block on one side and now makes me worry all the metal shaving that got into the other side and how do they clean it. On top of that they put a dent and scratch on my bumper and fender. Shitty job and never care about customers car. Unbelievable

I have been saying that improper sealant (even from the factory) was the major cause of the bearing failures in the early 13s but was shouted down by most that it can't possibly be that and had to be something else. Now we are seeing that it can indeed be that and nothing else. I feel some what vindicated.

Edit: You know what, going through my pictures from my rebuild, the bottom of the timing cover is wide open to the pan. So yeah loose packing would get right into the pan and into the pickup filter. |

But It's easy to visually inspect every gallery on this car with the exception of the crank. All the others you can look from one end to the other (after removing plugs). To check my crank I simply blew compressed air in there to see if anything came out. Nothing did. There was no packing in my drained oil, oil filter, pickup filter, pan, pump, galeries, OCV filters, cams, cam gears... nowhere. All I found was packing blocking 60% of one of the 4 drains leaving one of my heads. I'll just have to assume that was the cause of my failure. I've seen others report blockage of the 5th main where the halves are glued together but mine wasn't blocked there. I suspect if Toyota/Subaru finds a pattern to these post-recall failures that they will issue some sort of revision to the documentation. It would be interesting to see what that revision is. |
