Metal and plastic were found in the sump, and the intake tube had debris in it. They also replaced the RMS with the new style. Total cost 2400.00, but engine sounds smoother and I can breathe easier now... Just glad wife was supportive haha... More botox for her now.
I bet Jake R. will say they should have torn the whole engine apart to get any metal contamination out.
