I'm mid rebuild after
another spun rod bearing at 74k miles on a 2013. I had a new short block installed under warranty at around 54k, then the valve spring recall done around 65k. Doing this latest new short block myself I really can't stress enough how much gasket maker is used on these engines.
I plan on dropping my pan and cleaning out the oil pickup after 1-2k miles once my rebuild is done. I'm also moving to the KillerB oil pickup.
Now for the pics.
All of the debris in this box was shaken out of the pickup tube. This is IN ADDITION TO the gasket maker you can see in the pic above. So I shook this out of the tube, THEN removed the mesh and took the above pic.
