He's eating fries
I don't think Scott is ever coming back here.
Still waiting for the results... you left a cliffhanger, so I'm running filler. If it's over the top you guys can delete or move..
It's not a quick check and a fella does have a full time job, sooooo.....
The builder told me he thinks it's the rear main seal retainer. He said they have had trouble with their guys torquing down one side too hard which cocks the retainer and causes one of the little tabs to rub on the crank.
He said they can be ground down to make sure they don't rub. I'm not sure why they are there unless it's to center the retainer before the seal is installed.
So it requires pulling the trans back, removing the flex plate, and dropping the oil pan a little. Noting complicated, but not quick either.
He said to send over receipts/invoices and they will get me some reimbursement. Since a fella doesn't have a lot of free time and the builder will help with cost, I'm going to have our mechanic get it done.

That's a bummer. Not the end the end of the world but still, time consuming
Hahaha is that from the picture? I never noticed that..
Well that’s a better issue to deal with than the alternative of something more severe. Still a pain but a lot less of a major issue.
God those headlights need serious alignment…on the truck
Well, this doesn't look good.

It doesn't look like the seal retainer was rubbing.
Wrist pin retainer break?
What causes that to happen?

Ring gap too tight?
Ding. Ding. Ding. We have a winner.
I did not think of that. Makes sense as the engine heats up.

Maybe the pistons were installed on a Friday afternoon...
Unfortunate.
