As things play out currently, it appears history is repeating itself with the Gen2 cars during manufacturing but no one knows if the problem is fixed yet.

True, I spose were discussing two issues simultaneously too. The issue itself and the warranty claim.

There was another guy on the SCCA FB post saying they also had their engine torn down and they also had RTV on/in/around the pickup tube. He said it wasnt detrimental to the function of the pickup tube but it was there.

On the warranty it seems like it was a perfect storm of shitty people. I spoke with a few dealership employees I know in my area and I was assured that it wouldn't be an issue in their garages.
