Put my 2013 Scion FRs on the catastrophic engine failure list, I just had $11,600 worth work done under my Toyota 7 year/100k extended warranty. The problem was determined to be due to loss of oil pressure causing no.3 rod bearing to turn and fall apart. The metal from the rod bearing mixed in with the oil and was carried out thru the engine. They replaced the short block, ECU, VVT, values, lifters and both cylinder heads. The cause of my engine failing was due to the VVT gears stuck causing timing to over advance.
