Well it was awhile ago so I never did figure it out. However, in 2015 at the end of May I blew my engine (turbo'd). I think a rocker might have popped loose and locked open a valve. It was a 2012 build motor, so who knows. I believe newer engines have slightly longer valves and enlarged? oil passages for the rockers among other things.
