I was immediately reminded of when I used to drive the 1st gen DSMs.
I didn’t think anyone had crank walk issues these days.
I called a couple dealerships because the F02 (I think) valve spring recall showed incomplete. I was wishfully hoping a spring gave and grenaded the engine. Valve springs look good and are paint marked green.
Anyway, the previous owner said when he took it in to the local dealer (Victoria) he was passing a car and “rpms went high”. Then he heard a noise and lost power (go figure). A dealer in Houston read me the description of the Victoria dealer’s repair order. Victoria dealer refused to do the recall in its current condition, and said they would have to speak to a rep regarding doing the recall on a used engine.
