I was around 3500 miles post recall.
That is just so wrong.

I hope you get a new motor out of it.

A buddy had his motor go having the recall done at the same dealership. He got a lower mileage used engine so that's what I am expecting at this point

You guys getting replacement motors are making me sad. My car is a planter in the driveway since my motor blew in August 13 months and 16k miles after the recall work was done. Trying to sell it but that's tougher than it should be with all the cars with dead motors now.

Never seen it cause any damage, but they'd need to pull the front timing cover to readjust them.
Well, dammit. I should've bet you a beer, or something. I remember also hoping that you were right.

Screenshot from a video I was sent. They are claiming this is not enough sealant to cause starvation. Also pointed out that it is factory sealant as the recall uses gray sealant. Though that doesn't mean it isn't debris I guess

They are still doing more teardown to check internals. This is just what they got to so far

I think that's the downstream side. It looks like there could be significant buildup on the other side, no?

I thought the issue was two possibilities. It could also break off in the head and clog the return oil passages leading back down to the oil pan/sump, starving the crank.

Just because the sump isn't clogged doesn't mean the silicone at the valve cover gasket isn't blocking other areas. Right?

That doesn't look bad. Were the o-rings on the timing cover in place? Not distorted? If not properly seated on assembly, they pop out under pressure.
