Engine let go at 37k miles. Fighting for warranty coverage

I almost forgot, they need to have the oil cooler cleaned or replace it. No telling how much metal shavings are in it.

Man, that's a $600 core. I just bought a new one earlier this year. Maybe get it cleaned. I'll make sure they know

Man glad they are going to cover it for you. Personally I would replace the core, cheap insurance, but if the budget is tight I would run without one until you can replace it. $.02

Best of luck and thanks for serving
mults and B&W_Evader like this.

Exactly! Take it off and have it flushed and reinstalled after motor break in.
Just one thing that could come back to haunt you and your motor rebuild.
