It doesnt matter by your vin #. It matters on the production/date of first use.
Also most importantly your mileage. If youre under 60k miles than your good. If over than youre screwed...

Yup.

Yeah I have 25k miles on it. Kinda worries me that the car will never feel the same if they have to replace the shortblock.
Thx Jay for the info..

For me everything actually felt smoother. Got a trans oil changed to. Even felt like it a little more power. Which is possible since the compression is comprised by the oil ring failure.

I went in for my oil change and they started the oil consumption test. Per the Tsb. Im to return in a 1000 miles and have them recheck the level. They made me do an Esther oil change and it cost $140 out the door. (Ouch!)

Glad to see ur engine is running smooth Jay.
I have a few questions for you though.
How many miles on the car?
Did u ever get the engine lights checked out?
Did u inspect the engine when u got it back and make sure all the plugs,brackets,connectors, etc... Was in the factory spot?
It's such a big job that I'm nervous that ill get a tech and he does a hack job.
If yours look good. Let me know so I can request that same tech since he's already familiar with the process . Thanx in advanced!
