Damn, some nightmare stories in here. Jun 2012 build here. Glad I'm going for a full rebuild instead of sending it back for a 'recall'.
$8.5k for a new shortblock? You can get an Outfront with that kinda money. Did you ask them if it came with a BJ

Yeah, I can see why folks see that in the first pic I posted yesterday... it's just a bad shot. To be honest, I didn't even realize those were holes.. I thought they were marks! In any case, though, they were both full and then some. Look at the pics I edited into my previous post a few minuts ago.

Yeah, that's too much.
Some vinyl tubing and a dollar store turkey baster down the dip tube will get you to a less congested level. Or a FuMoto drain valve.

Much simpler to drop out a measured quart or so without losing the whole fill.
Or you can undo the sump plug and get oil all over your nitrile gloves and the floor. ... and your elbow, and, and ... ... and this should probably be in another thread altogether.

Just got mine back yesterday. I’m noticing a very faint smell of burning oil. Can that just be related from getting a new short block?

When your eyes get a bit older, I suggest you have someone else check the oil in your car - your track record is indicating that - I know that when I read the oil level on my dipstick, with my macular degeneration and poor low light eyesight and wearing trifocals, I can "read" almost anything I want to see. humfrz |

It's most likely just some stray oil burning off, not to worry. Just don't read anymore posts about the after action reports from some folks that have had the recall work done - humfrz |

Nevermind I misread your post. You were talking about draining oil not checking the dipstick. Hahaha

Oh I feel like I was one of the founding fathers of catastrophic post recall work haha Spun rod bearing resulted in a new short block. Here I am a day later. Let’s see how long this holds up

I had the same thing when I got mine after the recall work. I also thought it was some remaining oil. 385km later, it started knocking and my engine died. Just to be sure, keep checking, keep "being paranoid" about it for a while, and if you doubt, bring it back asap.
