Just to update this old thread. It took me a while to get this one apart. The customer is out of the country, and I knew the warranty company would stall my work, so I waited till I slowed down, and could afford to tie up a rack for a few weeks while the stroke me around .
They made me remove the motor, and pull it apart. It spun # 6 rod bearing, and tore up the crank pretty good. It was full of clean oil, and he had all records for past oil changes 2 within 10,000 miles to be exact. Both were non synthetic motor oil.
To my surprise, the warranty company approved the claim, and have shipped me a used engine to install . They will pay 100% of the labor, and the cost of the motor, minus the time I had in pulling the motor apart, and a few hours spent with an adjuster .
The owner of the car is stoked, and I was really surprised the warranty company took care of it .
