I stopped in a few months later and mentioned that noise was still there and they made a note of that then in October I had it in for something else and ask the teck to have a listen when he starts it well made a lot of noise so he took pics of the cylinders and top of pistons and did a leak down test that failed miserably on the rear cylinder so he got the ok to tear it down and after doing all the required test it was determined that the whole top end would be replaced. I have a great dealer and Teck who care and don’t say that’s normal or they all do that. I’m getting a stage 3 for a whopping $1600 Canadian and that’s with the 2020 oil pump that’s parts and labor.
