Hey CJ, I never got the final diagnosis of what was damaged, but it was definitely top-end/valve-train related, they assumed IMSB failure led to cam timing off, piston met valves, etc. I got multiple estimates of rebuild it or replace it starting at 14k before any "while we're in there" issues.

Quite disappointing to find what could have been a great car with such value behind the badge, to have a critical failure and the brand pretty much just shrugs it off. If it would have been paid off I would have just registered it as PNO and saved for a V8 swap. But what good is it to make payments on a car with a dead engine?
