They said a cam gear (does this have to do with the VVT gear as well? they said the VVT was an issue) was messed up as well (which was replaced with the short block install). So far, so good, about 300 miles since the repair.
I'd strongly argue with Scion about getting an extended warranty if you didn't already have it after that. They should know that replacing an engine after 30k miles is unacceptable no matter what.
