Be interested to know what caused the issue and how its been resolved going forward.

The primary problem is with the rod bearings. As I understand it, the factory bearings didn't have enough clearance. The beings installed now, and my apologies for not having more info, do provide better clearance. I think i am also to start running 5w50 or 15w50 mobil 1 oil; I am waiting for clarification on that and will follow up. I am a practical person and understand everything has a failure point/meantime before failure. I am not tuning or modding the car so I likely won't see issues that folks pushing 700+hp on stock builds will see.

Below is a list of items in the stock rebuild but they do offer a forged engine option as well.
