People on the internets are really going crazy over the FA24 problems.

Couldn't that pretty much apply to any situation?

Yeah it's kind of ridiculous. I am not really going to comment on it anymore. I do think the 86cup guys are right, and that the FA24 seems to have more surge issues then the FA20. The way the oil pickup goes into the timing cover is different and there looks like a much larger opening into the timing cavity. But nobody knows what level of pressure drop will cause a failure. Load at the time of pressure drop also matters a lot. I have posted the screen grab from my gopro so many times of my gauge reading 5psi through a quick left/right into an uphill transition. 100k miles on my car with 60ish track days. Not to mention if you take the car to the dealership and have them inspect the oil pickup and they find something, they will cover the labor.

Like yeah they advertise it and they bundle in that HPDE track thing. But my guess is they don't expect enough people to be driving so hard that this catastrophic issue occurs. It's already such a niche car and I can't imagine more than like 10% of owners, if that, take it to the track or drive hard enough for the problem to occur. Even if someone takes it to the free track thing, in most cases they're not an experienced track driver who's going to be doing high speed right hand turns IMO. And then you get tons of people saying this is an example of why these engines are unreliable lol. But like you said, and we know others here can vouch, these cars are known to be incredibly reliable and some have 100-200k miles without significant problems. oh well.

@NoHaveMSG Sorry I haven't taken the photos of the welds for you yet, been a busy week.
I still have not heard back from the vendor where I purchased the front pipe from. I even emailed them again this morning and asked if they have had a chance to look at the photos (sent them Monday night) - no response.

No, I have too much going on. I haven’t touched my car in a month at least. I still have to pull the engine and reseal the timing cover and install rocker arm retainers.

So it's extra frustrating because they have my money and have little incentive to make the situation right. Can't believe I had to wait this long for a pipe with obvious quality control issues. Like they were rushed or made by an inexperienced welder. Edit: He JUST replied: "I did, I sent an email to [Manufacturer]. Just waiting for a response!"
